Cardiomyocyte-expressed TGFβ signals to fibroblasts to program early heart maturation and adult myocyte identity
2025-09-22
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) is a secreted growth factor that is sequestered to the extracellular matrix (ECM) as a latent complex. In adult disease TGFβ release in the heart transforms fibroblasts into a differentiated state that synthesizes more ECM. However, it is not known how TGFβ functions in the early developing heart to impact resident fibroblasts. Here, we observe that deletion of the Tgfb1 , Tgf...
