Deletion of delta-like 1 homologue accelerates fibroblast–myofibroblast differentiation and induces myocardial fibrosis
21 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Myocardial fibrosis is associated with profound changes in ventricular architecture and geometry, resulting in diminished cardiac function. There is currently no information on the role of the delta-like homologue 1 (Dlk1) in the regulation of the fibrotic response. Here, we investigated whether Dlk1 is involved in cardiac fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation and regulates myocardial fibrosis and...
