The regulatory logic linking inflammation and fibrosis

Fibrosis is a major contributor to disease and mortality yet lacks effective therapies. This review proposes that fibrotic states are maintained by chromatin-regulated circuits in fibroblasts and macrophages shaped by immune-stromal crosstalk and that rewiring this upstream regulatory logic offers a path beyond current antifibrotic approaches.
