An iPSC-derived bio-inspired scaffold modelling the structure and the effects of extracellular matrix in cardiac fibrosis
2024-02-08
Abstract excerpt
Cardiac fibrosis occurs following insults to the myocardium and is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of non-compliant extracellular matrix (ECM), which compromises cardiomyocyte contractile activity and eventually leads to heart failure. This phenomenon is driven by the differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts (cFbs) into myofibroblasts and results in changes in ECM biochemical, structural and mechanical pr...
