Abstract
This is the first study to show the dose-dependent effects of Pentoxifylline on the proliferation and contraction of burn scar fibroblasts. This study suggests that Pentoxifylline has a direct effect on inhibiting burn scar fibroblasts. Further study of PFX on burn scars will provide opportunities to reduce burn scar contractures in vivo.
