Emerging role of transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels in cardiac fibroblast pathophysiology
Cardiac fibroblasts make up a major proportion of non-excitable cells in the heart and contribute to the cardiac structural integrity and maintenance of the extracellular matrix. During myocardial injury, fibroblasts can be activated to trans-differentiate into myofibroblasts, which secrete extracel...
