Content

Cardiac remodeling develops after left ventricular pressure/volume overload occurs. Cardiac fibrosis and diastric dysfunction are the hallmarks of cardiac remodeling. While a cardiac fibroblast plays essential roles in cardiac remodeling, the molecular mechanisms of its activation are still unclear. In this study, we aim to elucidate the patholocial processes underlying cardiac fibroblast activation, which will help to establish a novel therapeutic approach for cardiac remodeling.
