FGFR1/KLB-MFG-E8 Maintains Microvascular Integrity and Adaptive Cardiac Remodeling.
BACKGROUND Endothelial defects in the heart are a contributor to cardiac pathological remodeling and dysfunction, which can be influenced by cardiomyocytes. Here, we explore cardioprotective crosstalk between cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells under diabetic conditions. METHODS Type 2 diabetes was induced in male a...
