Atrophic acne scar: A process from altered metabolism of elastic fibers and collagen fibers based on TGF- β1 signaling.

CONCLUSIONS: These results may provide a basis for understanding the pathogenesis of atrophic acne scarring. Reduction of excessive inflammation and TGF-β1 signaling in early acne lesions is expected to facilitate the protection of normal extracellular matrix metabolism and the prevention of atrophic scar formation ultimately.
