Transforming growth factor-β and matrix metalloproteinases as potential biomarkers of fibrotic lesions induced by tuberculosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

There were differences in the results of TGF-β levels in patients with fibrotic lesions compared with controls. TGF-β might be a biomarker of fibrotic tissue formation or increased pulmonary tissue fibrosis in post-TB patients. However, further studies are needed on a larger scale.
