Asthma is an inflammatory disorder of the airways. Moreover, asthma is a long-term disease of the lungs. The features of asthma pathophysiology are the production of cytokines and infiltration of…
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of Zn2+-binding, Ca2+-dependent endopeptidases. They play a prominent role in the physiological and pathological degradation of mammalian extracellular matrix (ECM). The activity of MMPs…
Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) is a pluripotent cytokine in the regulation of various biological processes. Inhibition of TGFβ type I receptor offers a novel approach for the treatment of…
