Book excerpt: Wound Healing, Fibrosis and the Myofibroblast: A Historical and Biological Perspective is the fruit of an interdisciplinary and international collaboration involving a historian of medicine (Dr. Zampieri), a physician (Dr. Coen), and a researcher (Prof. Gabbiani, world-renowned for his discovery of the myofibroblast). A book aims to draw a concise, yet complete, description of the conceptual evolution of wound healing, fibrosis and fibrosis-related pathologies from antiquity to current time, as well as of the role of the myofibroblast, the key cell type essential for tissue repair and fibrosis (from its identification in 1971 throughout its 50-years-old history). By viewing this complex and centuries-long history from different perspectives, the Authors aim to draw an exhaustive overview, with the hope of inspiring new fruitful basic and clinical research. Interdisciplinary collaboration: Complementary views from a medical historian, a researcher and a clinician A concise but detailed history of fibrosis, readers can discover the major scientific breakthroughs along this history Includes the pathophysiology of various Fibrotic Diseases Explore the role of Myofibroblast in Fibrosis Development
