Fibrotic Extracellular Matrix Preferentially Induces a Partial Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Phenotype in a 3-D Agent Based Model of Fibrosis
2024-06-22
Abstract excerpt
One of the main drivers of fibrotic diseases is epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT): a transdifferentiation process in which cells undergo a phenotypic change from an epithelial state to a pro-migratory state. The cytokine transforming growth factor- β 1 (TGF- β 1) has been previously shown to regulate EMT. TGF- β 1 binds to fibronectin (FN) fibrils, which are the primary extracellular matrix (ECM) componen...
