Presentations

The transforming growth factor (TGF)-β has been identified as a master regulator of liver fibrogenesis. Thus, targeting TGF-β1 pathway might modulate chronic liver disease (CLD) development and/or progression in murine model. Galunisertib (Ly2157299), already in clinical studies phase II, is an oral small molecule targeting TGF-β type I receptor (ALK-5).
