Abstract excerpt
Rationale: The transformation of fibroblasts into activated myofibroblasts is a critical step that results in cardiac fibrosis upon myocardial infarction (MI). Leucine-rich repeat-containing protein-8A (LRRC8A) is a multi-functional protein involved in cell survival, growth, and proliferation, whereas its role in regulating myofibroblast phenotypes and myocardial fibrosis remains unknown. Methods: Conditional...
