Abstract:In the cardiac remodelling game, the casting is represented by certain players in form of four mesenchymal cells: one main player, represented by the fibroblast /and three secondary players, represented by the endothelial cell, vascular smooth muscle cell and the cardiac stem cell. The fibroblast plays a role in recruiting inflammatory cells (PMN, macrophages) in the primary secretory phase and another role in extracellular matrix remodelling in the secondary proliferative phase. Myofibroblasts are mesenchymal… Show more
