SMOC2 plays a role in heart failure via regulating TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway-mediated autophagy
Heart failure (HF) is a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to elucidate the role of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine-related modular calcium-binding protein 2 (SMOC2) in HF development and its underlying mechanism. Using a rat HF model, SMOC2 expression was e...
