 | Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta) Inhibition
TGF-beta is a regulatory protein that has multiple functions, including
an early role in the inflammatory response to injury and a central
role in triggering the chain of events leading to the induction of
CTGF and scarring. FibroGen scientists are working on small molecules
that selectively inhibit TGF-beta for the potential treatment of chronic
fibrosis and cancer without affecting the beneficial activities of this
growth factor.
