  • Figure 1. Localization of fibroblasts, intestinal subepithelial myofibroblasts and interstitial Cajal cells in the duodenum. Fibroblasts are localized in the apical region of the villi. Intestinal epithelial myofibroblasts are shown in the longitudinal (A) and cross section of the villus (B) and the crypt (C). Interstitial Cajal cells are found in the intramuscular space. Based on the work of Powell et al [24]
  • Figure 2. Origin of myofibroblasts. Myofibroblasts can differentiate from several cell types including other mesenchymal cells, epithelial, endothelial and stem cells
  • Figure 3. Major components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Transmembrane receptors such as integrins, which are localized in the cell surface membrane, connect the cells to the ECM components
