Three TF Co-expression Modules Regulate Pressure-Overload Cardiac Hypertrophy in Male Mice

Abstract Pathological cardiac hypertrophy, a dynamic remodeling process, is a major risk factor for heart failure. Although a number of key regulators and related genes have been identified, how the transcription factors (TFs) dynamically regulate the associated genes and control the morphological a...
