Modelling and targeting mechanical forces in organ fibrosis
Open accessAbstract
Few efficacious therapies exist for the treatment of fibrotic diseases, such as skin scarring, liver cirrhosis and pulmonary fibrosis, which is related to our limited understanding of the fundamental causes and mechanisms of fibrosis. Mechanical forces from cell-matrix interactions, cell-cell contact, fluid flow and other physical stimuli may play a central role in the initiation and propagation of fibrosis. In this Review, we highlight the mechanotransduction mechanisms by which various sources of physical force drive fibrotic disease processes, with an emphasis on central pathways that may be therapeutically targeted to prevent and reverse fibrosis. We then discuss engineered models of mechanotransduction in fibrosis, as well as molecular and biomaterials-based therapeutic approaches for limiting fibrosis and promoting regenerative healing phenotypes in various organs. Finally, we discuss challenges within fibrosis research that remain to be addressed and that may greatly benefit from next-generation bioengineered model systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
