Role of the Actin Cytoskeleton in Pro-fibrotic Signaling

The development of fibrosis involves disruption of connective tissue homeostasis that may include inhibition of collagen remodeling pathways such as phagocytosis, as well as the differentiation of myofibroblasts, pro-fibrotic cells. Myofibroblast differentiation is dependent on actin assembly, which...
