A Role of Myocardin Related Transcription Factor-A (MRTF-A) in Scleroderma Related Fibrosis.
In scleroderma (systemic sclerosis, SSc), persistent activation of myofibroblast leads to severe skin and organ fibrosis resistant to therapy. Increased mechanical stiffness in the involved fibrotic tissues is a hallmark clinical feature and a cause of disabling symptoms. Myocardin Related Transcrip...
