| Research Abstract |
We confirmed that epithelial to mesenchymal transition had some roles in transplanted rejected airways using histological assessment of changes over time. On the other hand, our results using transgenic mice revealed that the fibroblasts in fibrosis of transplanted airways originated from the recipient. This suggests that blocking fibroblasts differentiation from recipient bone marrow precursor cells may lead to preventing fibrosis in transplanted organs.
