## Abstract TGF‐β1 is a potent inductor of malignance in cancer cells. TGF‐β1 stimulates the expression of extracellular matrix degrading proteases, cell migration and it is also involved in the epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT). In the present work, we analyzed the role of Spred2 in the urok
## Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by myofibroblast accumulation, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and excessive collagen deposition. ECM‐producing myofibroblasts may originate from epithelial cells through epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). TGF‐β1 is an induc
