TGF-Beta Induced BARD1/BARD1-Beta Expression Promotes Lung Fibrosis
In a new study entitled “BARD1 mediates TGF-β signaling in pulmonary fibrosis”, researchers investigated whether the tumor suppressor gene BARD1, previously shown to have a role in lung cancer, is associated with pulmonary fibrosis. They found that TGF-beta, an established factor in promoting fibrosis, induces BARD1 protein expression…
