Extracellular Matrix Remodeling Associated with Bleomycin-Induced Lung Injury Supports Pericyte-To-Myofibroblast Transition
2020-11-17
Abstract excerpt
Of the many origins of pulmonary myofibroblasts, microvascular pericytes are a known source. Prior literature has established the ability of pericytes to transition into myofibroblasts, but provide limited insight into molecular cues that drive this process during lung injury repair and fibrosis. Fibronectin and RGD-binding integrins have long been considered pro-fibrotic factors in myofibroblast biology, and here...
