The Role of Il-6 In Adenosine-Mediated Pulmonary Fibrosis
… mice leads to the development of pulmonary inflammation, alveolar destruction, and fibrosis, in conjunction with IL-6 elevation. Thus, it was hypothesized that IL-6 contributes to pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in this model. To test this hypothesis, <em>Ada/IL-6</em> double …
