Ablation of C-type natriuretic peptide/cGMP signaling in fibroblasts exacerbates adverse cardiac remodeling in mice
Excessive activation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) in response to injury provokes cardiac fibrosis, stiffness, and failure. The local mediators counterregulating this response remain unclear. Exogenous C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) exerts antifibrotic effects in preclinical models. To unravel the...
