Strategies targeting the IL-4/IL-13 axes in disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Fibrosis is attributed to dysregulation of tissue-remodeling. In remodeling areas, fibroblasts and macrophages actively make contact with each other. Osteopontin (OPN) is a pro-fibrotic molecule, whose expression is upregulated by interleukin (IL)-1β via secretion of its downstream cytokines, such as IL-6. H...
