Oxidative Stress Enhances the TGF-β2-RhoA-MRTF-A/B Axis in Cells Entering Endothelial-Mesenchymal Transition

Around 45% of deaths in the EU and the US are due to fibrotic diseases. Although myofibroblasts are detected in various fibrotic tissues, they are mostly transdifferentiated from endothelial cells during the endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) induced by tumor growth factor-beta (TGF-β) famil...
