With the goal of identifying druggable targets other than TGFβ, we analysed the transcriptomes of fibrotic and non‐fibrotic FAPs and found that FAPs from fibrotic muscle (from both healthy and OPMD individuals), but not those from nonfibrotic muscle from healthy individuals, express EDNRB, a receptor for endothelin. This evidence concerns the gene TGFB1 and oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy.
