Resumen
|
Far from being a rigid and static material, cardiovascular extracellular matrix (ECM) is a highly dynamic structure that responds to injury and disease through specific molecular mechanisms. This response can activate beneficial repair mechanisms but can also lead to myocardial and vascular malfunction. This workshop will provide insight into the mechanisms integral to ECM homeostasis—synthesis, deposition and remodeling—that are fundamental to understanding the pathological basis of several cardiovascular diseases. The workshop will also present state-of the art knowledge on the mechanisms of fibrosis initiation, propagation and regression that will form the basis for the future development of new therapeutic strategies, including new anti-fibrotic drugs, the ECM-based biomaterials, and gene therapy interventions to revert fibrosis.
