Abstract excerpt
Among its plethora of activities as an inflammatory mediator, TNF-alpha has potent regulatory control on extracellular matrix production and degradation. Earlier studies have documented that TNF-alpha inhibits type I collagen gene (COL1A2) expression at the transcriptional level, but the characte...
