TGFB1 and COVID-19: Emerging evidence reveals that COVID-19 could generate myocardial fibrosis, termed “COVID-19-associated myocardial fibrosis.” It can result from the activation of fibroblasts via the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), microRNAs, and other pathways, and can also occur in other cellular interactions with SARS-CoV-2, such as immunocytes, endothelial cells.
