Reduced transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in the repair of airway epithelial cells of children with asthmaEvidence into the role of TGF-β1 in airway epithelial repair in asthma is still controversial. This study tested the hypothesis that the reduced TGF-β1 levels previously observed in paediatric asthmatic airway epithelial cells directly contribute to the dysregulated repair seen in these cells.
