“…The authors thus propose that the Dupuytren's fibroblast is "not abnormal" but responds solely to the increased cellularity found in nodules. This is in contrast to Delbruck and Schroder (1983) who reported that while Dupuytren's disease cell cultures, when compared to controls, exhibited no difference in D.N.A. synthesis, there was a significant increase in the total collagen and sulphated glycosoaminoglycans synthesised by the Dupuytren's cells.…”
