DOI: 10.1002/tox.22671
Abstract: Cardiac fibrosis is a common pathophysiological process observed during chronic and stress‐induced acceleration of cardiac aging. Fibrosis is a necessary process during wound healing and tissue repair. However, its deposition in organs would proceed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10620-020-06761-x
Abstract: Patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) are at an increased risk of disease progression. The influence of hepatic steatosis (HS) to liver fibrosis was controversial. We aim to investigate the association between HS and liver… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.kint.2017.03.029
Abstract: Lymphangiogenesis is correlated with the degree of renal interstitial fibrosis. Pro-fibrotic transforming growth factor β induces VEGF-C production, the main driver of lymphangiogenesis. Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is an important determinant of fibrotic tissue remodeling,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/mph.0000000000000809
Abstract: Liver fibrosis is one of the common complications of transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) in Down syndrome (DS), but the exact molecular pathogenesis is largely unknown. We herein report a neonate of DS with liver fibrosis… read more here.

HDAC Inhibitors: Therapeutic Potential in Fibrosis-Associated Human Diseases
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "International Journal of Molecular Sciences"
DOI: 10.3390/ijms20061329
Abstract: Fibrosis is characterized by excessive deposition of the extracellular matrix and develops because of fibroblast differentiation during the process of inflammation. Various cytokines stimulate resident fibroblasts, which differentiate into myofibroblasts. Myofibroblasts actively synthesize an excessive… read more here.

DOI: 10.33963/kp.15910
Abstract: BACKGROUND Left atrial (LA) fibrosis is associated with a higher rate of recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Body mass index (BMI) is strongly associated with the prevalence of AF, but… read more here.
