A novel Nrf2-miR-29-desmocollin-2 axis regulates desmosome function in keratinocytes.

abstract：:Fibrosis due to extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion from myofibroblasts complicates many chronic liver diseases causing scarring and organ failure. Integrin-dependent interaction with scar ECM promotes pro-fibrotic features. However, the pathological intracellular mechanism in liver myofibroblasts is not completely u...
