Is the Mitochondrial Function of Keloid Fibroblasts Affected by Cytoglobin?

Background: A keloid is a benign skin tumour characterised by excessive proliferation of fibroblasts, a process that requires a sufficient amount of energy. The energy needs are associated with adequate oxygen (O) flow and well-functioning mitochondria. It is known that cytoglobin (CYGB) has a function in O distribution.
