Aberrant differentiation of fibroblast progenitors contributes to fibrosis in the aged murine heart: role of elevated circulating insulin levels

With age, the collagen content of the heart increases, leading to interstitial fibrosis. We have shown that CD44(pos) fibroblasts derived from aged murine hearts display reduced responsiveness to TGF-β but, paradoxically, have increased collagen expression in vivo and in vitro. We postulated that th...
