Epigenetic Regulation of Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition in Chronic Heart Disease

Abstract excerpt

Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a process in which endothelial cells lose their properties and transform into fibroblast-like cells. This transition process contributes to cardiac fibrosis, a common feature of patients with chronic heart failure.
