Infarct Collagen Topography Regulates Fibroblast Fate via p38-Yes-Associated Protein Transcriptional Enhanced Associate Domain Signals

This study confirmed that focal adhesions transduce physical signals from topographical cues in the ECM into changes in cellular migration. Also, that aligned collagen organization induced myofibroblast differentiation, with a concomitant upregulation in myofibroblast-specific ECM genes like Postn and FnEDa.
