1 We studied whether targeted gene transfer of HGF specifically to AECII improves lung fibrosis in bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis. Bleomycin hepatocyte growth factor Rattus norvegicus
2 We conclude that targeted HGF gene transfer specifically to AECII decreases bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis and may therefore represent a novel cell-specific gene transfer technology to treat pulmonary fibrosis. Bleomycin hepatocyte growth factor Rattus norvegicus
