The transcription factor scleraxis is a critical regulator of cardiac fibroblast phenotype

BACKGROUND: Resident fibroblasts synthesize the cardiac extracellular matrix, and can undergo phenotype conversion to myofibroblasts to augment matrix production, impairing function and contributing to organ failure. A significant gap in our understanding of the transcriptional regulation of these p...
