Expression of fibulin-6 in failing hearts and its role for cardiac fibroblast migration
20 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: The cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) undergoes a dynamic transition following myocardial infarction. Fibulin-6 is expressed in cell junctions particularly in tissues subjected to significant mechanical stress. Fibulin-6 deficiency results in defective cell migration in nematodes and early embryonic lethality in mice. The role of fibulin-6 in healthy and failing myocardium is unknown. We have examined the...
