Mechanical regulation of cardiac fibroblasts. [PDF]
Cardiac fibrosis progressively contributes to heart failure (HF). Yet, its complex nature still lacks a more comprehensive understanding. One main hurdle is the lack of representative human models providing insights into the behaviour of cardiac fibroblasts (CF) and their pathological derivatives.

Metformin inhibits angiotensin II-induced differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts into myofibroblasts. [PDF]
Differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts into myofibroblasts is a critical event in the progression of cardiac fibrosis that leads to pathological cardiac remodeling.

Direct Reprogramming of Cardiac Fibroblasts to Repair the Injured Heart [PDF]
Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Those that survive acute myocardial infarction are at significant risk of subsequent heart failure due to fibrotic remodelling of the infarcted myocardium.

Cardiac fibrosis is an important pathological process in many diseases. Wdr5 catalyzes the trimethylation of lysine K4 on histone H3. The effects of Wdr5 on the cardiac fibrosis phenotype and the activation or transformation of cardiac fibroblasts were ...

The landscape of accessible chromatin in quiescent cardiac fibroblasts and cardiac fibroblasts activated after myocardial infarction [PDF]
After myocardial infarction, the massive death of cardiomyocytes leads to cardiac fibroblast proliferation and myofibroblast differentiation, which contributes to the extracellular matrix remodelling of the infarcted myocardium.

Leptin and Pro-Inflammatory Stimuli Synergistically Upregulate MMP-1 and MMP-3 Secretion in Human Gingival Fibroblasts [PDF]
Introduction Gingival fibroblast-mediated extracellular matrix remodelling is implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, yet the stimuli that regulate this response are not fully understood. The immunoregulatory adipokine leptin is detectable in

Targeting cardiac fibroblasts: The pressure is on [PDF]
Heart failure is a major health issue, with its incidence on the rise. It is well established that fibroblast accumulation in stressed myocardium causes arrhythmias and drives adverse remodeling th...
