Heart failure remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, with cardiac fibrosis contributing to disease progression. Following myocardial injury, activated cardiac fibroblasts orchestrate adverse extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, which leads to tissue stiffening and compromised contractility. Despit...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained human cardiac arrhythmia and linked to a drastic increase in stroke and heart failure risk. While sequence variations in the PITX2 non-coding region are the strongest genetic signature of AF risk, the direct role of PITX2 in AF remains a topic of debate. Here, we ge...
