## Abstract Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) is a cysteineβrich, extracellular matrix (ECM) protein that acts as an anabolic growth factor to regulate osteoblast differentiation and function. Recent studies have identified CTGF as a downstream effector of transforming growth factorβΞ²1 (T
## Abstract ## Background Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a possible key determinant of progressive fibrosis. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a powerful tool for silencing gene expression postβtranscriptionally. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine whether synthetic siRNA tar
