Hypoxia-driven crosstalk among cardiac fibroblasts, macrophages, and endothelial cells in cardiac fibrosis
Cardiac fibrosis, a hallmark of adverse remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI), markedly contributes to progressive heart failure. Severe tissue hypoxia within the ischemic heart activates hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signaling, thereby reshaping intercellular communication among non-myocytes. This mini-revi...
