Caffeine inhibits TGF? activation in epithelial cells, interrupts fibroblast responses to TGF?, and reduces established fibrosis in ex vivo precision-cut lung slices (2016)
Journal Article

Caffeine is a commonly used food additive found naturally in many products. In addition to potently stimulating the central nervous system caffeine is able to affect various systems within the body including the cardiovascular and respiratory systems...

Reduced Ets domain-containing protein Elk1 promotes pulmonary fibrosis via increased integrin ?v?6 expression (2016)
Journal Article

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic lung disease with high mortality. Active TGF?1 is considered central to the pathogenesis of IPF. A major mechanism of TGF?1 activation in the lung involves the epithelially restricted ?v?6...
