Due to some transcription problems, I wonder whether the PDGF_ mentioned in your text refers to PDGF-beta (known mediator of proliferation and migration of myofibroblastsm, interactions with TGF-beta,... among many other actions) or PDGF-alfa (also related in some reports to vascular damage).

Are you aware of any action of PDF in VASCULAR lesions?
Can you give us more insights on FSP-1 and transdifferentiation?

I am amazed about PDF not only inhibiting but also restoring back tissue fibrosis

Where I wrote PDF , I should have obviously written PFD
