Excited to see our study out in #AJRCCM @ATSBlueEditor : in cardiac sarcoidosis, macrophages release the enzyme MMP12 to drive scarring of the heart. Blocking it reduced fibrosis in mice, and inhibitors already exist. doi.org/10.1093/ajrccm/aamag…

MMP12 induces fibrogenic macrophage differentiation to drive granuloma-associated cardiac fibrosis

AbstractRationale. Cardiac sarcoidosis is a granulomatous inflammatory disease that frequently progresses to irreversible myocardial fibrosis and lethal co
