Mashup Score: 25Breaking the Cycle: A New Approach to Treating Cardiac Fibrosis - 17 day(s) ago
Cardiac fibrosis impacts millions of patients and currently has no effective therapy. Stanford Cardiovascular Institute researchers have uncovered a new mechanosensing-based mechanism that reduces fibrosis in mice. Cardiac fibrosis—the stiffening and scarring of heart tissue—is a key component of nearly every form of heart disease, from acute ischemic injury to genetic cardiomyopathies. Over time, this mechanical stiffening impairs the heart’s ability to contract and relax, leading to progressive dysfuncti
