Combinatorial activation of the WNT‐dependent fibrogenic program by distinct complement subunits in dystrophic muscle
6 Nov 2023
Abstract excerpt
Fibrosis is associated with compromised muscle functionality in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We report observations with tissues from dystrophic patients and mice supporting a model to explain fibrosis in DMD, which relies on the crosstalk between the complement and the WNT signaling pathways and the functional interactions of two cellular types. Fibro-adipogenic progenitors and macrophages, which populate...
