Brief description 21,000 Australians receive kidney replacement therapy and many more die of kidney failure as a result of kidney fibrosis. TGF-?, a growth factor causing kidney fibrosis, is also anti-inflammatory and promotes healing. We aim to prove that targeting downstream messengers (Foxo/?-catenin) of TGF-? will prevent fibrosis while promoting TGF-?’s anti-inflammatory and healing actions. A successful outcome will lead to a novel cure for preventing kidney failure and failure of other organs.
