Hypertrophic scars (HS) are fibrotic skin disorders driven by abnormal fibroblast activity. The molecular mechanisms underlying HS remain incompletely understood, particularly the role of non-coding RNAs. Expression levels of lncRNA TUG1, miR-627, and IGF1R were measured in HS tissues and fibroblasts using qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Dual-luciferase assays validated direct interactions. Functional effects of TUG1 and miR-627...
