This study demonstrated for the first time that the blockade of TGF-beta action by AdTbeta-ExR in the early stage of anti-GBM nephritis ameliorates the clinical and histologic progression. In addition, this study shed light on the development of a specific gene therapy for human crescentic glomerulonephritis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
