Pediatric research: Researchers now think fibrosis can be reversed
Pediatric research: Researchers now think fibrosis can be reversed
Fibrosis, one of the most devastating consequences of hundreds of human diseases, has long been thought by biomedical science to be fixed and irreversible.
But new research hints this harmful biological process might not be permanent after all.
One of the most dramatic examples of reversibility is seen after treatment of hepatitis C, a chronic viral infection, with newly approved antiviral drugs.
In the laboratory, research has created a much better understanding of the biological intricacies of fibrosis.
