Abstract
A series of in vitro tests led to the discovery of a dormant phenotype in dermal fibroblasts from patients with stretch marks. The described tests may serve as a diagnostic tool for predicting predisposition to stretch marks. The reported reversibility of impaired fibroblast phenotypes opens a new perspective for preventive treatments for people predisposed to stretch mark formation.
