🚨 New Insights in Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)! 🫀

Fibroblasts aren't just bystanders — they're mechanical rheostats shaping disease severity. 🧬

This groundbreaking study shows that blocking p38 signaling halts fibrosis, boosts contractility, and may redefine how we treat DCM. 💥

🧠 Think beyond myocytes. Think collective cell behavior.
