Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Airway remodeling, including increased deposition of extracellular matrix proteins, is a hallmark of asthma. Myofibroblasts, derived via fibroblast to myofibroblast transition (FMT), play an important role in this increased deposition of matrix proteins. Expression of transforming growth factor b1 (TGFb1) is increased in asthmatic airways and is known to induce FMT, as assessed by increased e...
