Key result
Distinct fibroblast populations including matrifibrocytes and immune fibrocytes mediate hypertension-related cardiovascular fibrosis.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular fibrosis contributes to vascular resistance, aortic stiffness, and cardiac hypertrophy in hypertension, but the molecular mechanisms leading to fibroblast activation remain largely unknown.
