FAM13A as potential therapeutic target in modulating TGF-β-induced airway tissue remodeling in COPD
9 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have shown that a gene variant in the Family with sequence similarity 13, member A (FAM13A) is strongly associated with reduced lung function and the appearance of respiratory symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A key player in smoking-induced tissue injury and airway remodeling is the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). To determine the role...
