Abstract
Understanding the regulation of the extracellular matrix of the heart is essential to understanding the chronic changes in heart function in disease states such as hypertension, heart failure, and diabetes. This understanding relies on overturning the concept that the extracellular matrix of the heart is inert. Bouzeghrane and colleagues, by showing the presence of fibrillin in rodent hearts and its upregulation in models of cardiac fibrosis, have demonstrated the dynamic complexity of the extracellular matrix. Furthermore, they have added a potential target molecule for the understanding and modification of cardiac function in both the normal and diseased heart.
