Brief description Fibrosis is a major mechanism driving chronic disease. A specific pathologic process (TGF/Smad signalling) plays an important role in scarring of the kidney and the heart; but our understanding of this process is limited. Our exciting new data has identified a chemical modification of a component of this scarring pathway (acetylation of Smad3), and this project seeks to determine whether this modification plays a pivotal role in regulating tissue scarring.
