Figure 7

The maturation phase. Schematic representation of the maturation phase in which the ECM is stabilized with the release of collagen and matrix proteins, the neo vessels are coated with mural cells, to strengthen them, and part of the fibroblasts are transformed into matrifibroblasts involved in the scar stability. Adverse outcomes such as cardiac remodeling are regulated at this stage by miRNAs. Created with BioRender.com.
