Oestrogen receptor-alpha and -beta expression in breast implant capsules: experimental findings and clinical correlates.
Myofibroblasts provide a force to decrease the surface area of breast implant capsules as the collagen matrix matures. 17-β-Oestradiol promotes myofibroblast differentiation and contraction. The aim of the study was to investigate the expre…
