## Abstract Transforming growth factorβΞ² (TGFβΞ²) and interleukinβ4 (ILβ4) have fibrogenic properties and induce extracellular matrix production in a variety of lung diseases. Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a matrix signaling molecule stimulated by TGFβΞ² that in part mediates Ξ±1(I) collag
## Abstract ## Objective Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a cysteineβrich secreted matricellular protein involved in wound healing and tissue repair. Enhanced and prolonged expression of CTGF has been associated with tissue fibrosis in humans. However, questions remain as to whether CTGF
