## Abstract Fibroblasts are responsible in large part for production, organization, and turnover of the extracellular matrix (ECM), thereby regulating the fibrotic content of the heart. Excessive fibrosis, which has been associated with certain forms of hemodynamic overload such as hypertension, is
## Abstract Cyclosporine A (CyA) is a powerful nonsteroidal immunosuppressive agent used to prevent graft rejection of organ and bone marrow transplants. A major side effect observed can be attributed to the fibroblast and its functions: proliferation of fibroblasts and formation of fibrotic tissue
## Abstract Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are characterized by their abilities to differentiate into different lineages, including osteoblasts. Besides soluble factors, mechanical strain and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins play important roles in osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. Howe
