Abstrakt:	Fibrosis is a major medical challenge, as it leads to irreversible tissue remodeling and organ dysfunction. Its progression contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality worldwide, with limited therapeutic options available. Extensive research on the molecular mechanisms of fibrosis has revealed numerous factors and signaling pathways involved. However, the interactions between these pathways remain unclear. A comprehensive understanding of the entire signaling network that drives fibrosis is still missing. The TGF-β and Notch signaling pathways play a key role in fibrogenesis, and this review focuses on their functional interplay and molecular mechanisms. Studies have shown synergy between TGF-β and Notch cascades in fibrosis, but antagonistic interactions can also occur, especially in cardiac fibrosis. The molecular mechanisms of these interactions vary depending on the cell context. Understanding these complex and context-dependent interactions is crucial for developing effective strategies for treating fibrosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
