What actually happened
Researchers at the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute have characterized an unexpected signaling pathway that helps drive cardiac fibrosis, the buildup of scar tissue that makes the heart stiffer and less able to pump normally. Their study, "Targeting an atypical G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway for cardiac fibrosis therapy," is published in Science.
