SARA suppresses myofibroblast precursor transdifferentiation in fibrogenesis in a mouse model of scleroderma

We previously reported that Smad anchor for receptor activation (SARA) plays a critical role in maintaining epithelial cell phenotype. Here, we show that SARA suppressed myofibroblast precursor transdifferentiation in a mouse model of scleroderma. Mice overexpressing SARA specifically in PDGFR-β+ pe...
