Endocan Participates in TGF-β/Smad and AKT/ERK Signaling Coordination and lncRNA Modulation in Human Cardiac Fibroblasts
Endocan, a soluble dermatan sulfate proteoglycan, is increasingly recognized as a regulator of key cellular pathways in both physiological and pathological contexts. While TGF-β is a central mediator of fibrotic remodeling, the role of endocan in this process remains elusive. By performing a transcriptomic dataset anal...
