Abstract excerpt
Periostin (Postn) is a matricellular protein that plays a crucial role in cardiac fibrosis following myocardial infarction (MI). However, the role of Postn in infarct healing to date has been derived from experiments conducted exclusively on male animals, leaving its sex-specific functions unaddressed. Thus, we investigated the sex-specific role of Postn in acute wound healing and extracellular matrix (ECM)...
