cause of suffering and death and an important contributor to the cost of health care. All of this
is likely to change in the future. Advances in cell and cytokine biology have brought a new
understanding of the molecular events underlying tissue fibrosis. It is becoming clear that
fibrogenesis is not a unique pathologic process but is due to excesses in the same biologic
events involved in normal tissue repair1. A central event in tissue repair is the release of …
