Different Roles of Resident and Non-resident Macrophages in Cardiac Fibrosis
Cardiac fibrosis is a key pathological link of various cardiovascular diseases to heart failure. It is of great significance to deeply understand the development process of cardiac fibrosis and the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved.

Rationale: Cardiac fibrosis is observed in nearly every form of myocardial disease. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play an important role in cardiac fibrosis, but the detailed molecular mechanism remains unknown.Object: We aimed at ...

ADAMTS8 Promotes Cardiac Fibrosis Partly Through Activating EGFR Dependent Pathway
Myocardial infarction or pressure overload leads to cardiac fibrosis, the leading cause of heart failure. ADAMTS8 (A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 8) has been reported to be involved in many fibrosis-related diseases ...

Modulation of Cardiac Fibrosis in and Beyond Cells
The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays important roles in maintaining physiological structure and functions of various tissues and organs. Cardiac fibrosis is the excess deposition of ECM, including both fibrillar (collagens I and III) and non-fibrillar ...

Micro-RNA family that modulates fibrosis and uses thereof [PDF]
The present invention relates to the identification of a microRNA family, designated miR-29a-c, that is a key regulator of fibrosis in cardiac tissue. The inventors show that members of the miR-29 family are down-regulated in the heart tissue in response

LncRNA CFRL aggravates cardiac fibrosis by modulating both miR-3113-5p/CTGF and miR-3473d/FN1 axis
Summary: Cardiac fibrosis is a major type of adverse remodeling, predisposing the disease progression to ultimate heart failure. However, the complexity of pathogenesis has hampered the development of therapies.

The impact of SPARC on age-related cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis in Drosophila [PDF]
Tissue fibrosis, an accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen, accompanies cardiac ageing in humans and this is linked to an increased risk of cardiac failure.

Inhibition of the Unfolded Protein Response Mechanism Prevents Cardiac Fibrosis. [PDF]
Cardiac fibrosis attributed to excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins is a major cause of heart failure and death. Cardiac fibrosis is extremely difficult and challenging to treat in a clinical setting due to lack of understanding of ...
