Abstract excerpt
Radiation-induced fibrosis is an important side effect in the treatment of cancer. Profibrotic proteins, such as plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), and tissue type inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (Timp-1), are thought to play major roles in the development of fibrosis via the modulation of extracellular matrix integrity. We did a detailed analysis of...
