Cathelicidin LL-37 Expression in Human Breast Implant Capsules.
[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is the most common complication following breast implant placement. Cathelicidin LL-37 is a cationic peptide involved in innate immunity. Initially investigated for its antimicrobial role, it was found to h…

Histologic and Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Human Breast Capsules Formed around Five Different Expander Surfaces.
[BACKGROUND] Polyurethane (PU) coating and implant texturization were designed to reduce the incidence of capsular contracture (CC), even if the link between surface type and CC remains unclear. To date, the etiopathogenetic aspects have no…

The role of angiogenesis, inflammation and estrogen receptors in breast implant capsules development and remodeling.
[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is the most common complication following breast implant placement. The multiple factors unbalancing the physiological response to the foreign body have not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was …

Toll-Like Receptor 4 Expression in Human Breast Implant Capsules: Localization and Correlation with Estrogen Receptors.
[BACKGROUND] Capsular contracture is the most common complication following breast augmentation and reconstruction. Myofibroblasts, which are specialized fibroblasts with contractile activity, are involved in its pathogenesis. Toll-like rec…

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…
