Talk:Myofibroblast

any references?

More dysfunction.
In addition to interference in cardiac propagation of electrical signals, an article I am reading states the following:

"The excessive subepithelial collagen deposition is located beneath the basement membrane and seems to be caused by myofibroblast dysfunction, leading to collagen overproduction with ECM-remodeling, as well as an imbalance between fibrogenesis and fibrinolysis which results in an impaired degradation of ECM proteins."
