In addition to interference in cardiac propagation of electrical signals, an article I am reading states the following:

"The excessive subepithelial collagen deposition is located beneath the basement membrane and seems to be caused by myofibroblast dysfunction, leading to collagen overproduction with ECM-remodeling, as well as an imbalance between fibrogenesis and fibrinolysis which results in an impaired degradation of ECM proteins."

In other words, myofibroblast dysfunction seems to cause collagenous colitis. Ouch! Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 20:02, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
