Transforming growth factor-β1-mediated collagen gel contraction by cardiac fibroblasts
Objective Myofibroblasts and transforming growth factor-β 1 (TGF-β 1 ) are key elements of cardiac tissue fibrosis development. The aim of this study was to determine whether the ability of TGF-β 1 to affect the contractile activity of cardiac fibroblasts depends on their differentiation into myofib...
