Transforming Growth Factor β in Tissue Fibrosis
Abstract
Progressive fibrosis in the kidney, liver, lung, heart, bone marrow, and skin is both a major cause of suffering and death and an important contributor to the cost of health care. All of this is likely to change in the future. Advances in cell and cytokine biology have brought a new understanding of the molecular events underlying tissue fibrosis. It is becoming clear that fibrogenesis is not a unique pathologic process but is due to excesses in the same biologic events involved in normal tissue repair1.A central event in tissue repair is the release of cytokines in response . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
