Integrin-mediated transforming growth factor-beta activation, a potential therapeutic target in fibrogenic disordersStephen L Nishimura
Department of Anatomic Pathology, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA
Am J Pathol 175:1362-70. 2009..Amplification of integrin-mediated TGF-beta activation in fibrotic disorders and data from preclinical models suggest that integrins may therefore represent novel targets for antifibrotic therapies...
Sarcoidosis following HIV infection: evidence for CD4+ lymphocyte dependenceDavid G Morris
Interstitial Lung Disease Program, Department of Medicine, San Francisco General Hospital, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94142 0854, USA
Chest 124:929-35. 2003..The chronic granulomatous inflammation of sarcoidosis has been hypothesized to depend on the CD4+ T-helper lymphocyte.
