Abstract excerpt
Microvascular pericytes have been demonstrated as an origin for myofibroblasts that produce excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and type I collagen (ColIA1) and contribute to pulmonary fibrosis (PF). However, the signaling mechanism responsible for ECM production within pericytes is poorly understood. In this study, we examined exosomal miR-107 in the fibrotic...
