Rapamycin Inhibits the Growth and Collagen Production of Fibroblasts Derived from Human Urethral Scar Tissue
Rapamycin can inhibit fibroblast proliferation, collagen accumulation, and urethral stricture in rabbits. Transforming growth factor-beta-1 (TGF-β1) signaling, with downstream recruitment of Smad2, is known to promote fibrosis. This in vitro study examined the effects of rapamycin on fibroblasts der...
