Lovastatin Downregulates Renal Myofibroblast Function in vitro
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The results suggest that myofibroblast function may be downregulated by lovastatin in vitro, which may offer potential benefit in the prevention of progressive scarring and further studies will be necessary to determine the relative importance of these functions.
