Defective Desmosomal Adhesion Causes Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy by involving an Integrin-αVβ6/TGF-β Signaling Cascade
2021-09-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (ACM) is characterized by progressive loss of cardiomyocytes with fibrofatty replacement, systolic dysfunction and life-threatening arrhythmias. A substantial proportion of ACM is caused by mutations in genes of the desmosomal cell-cell adhesion complex, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. So far, treatment options are only symptomatic. Here, we...
