Researchers at the UW O’Brien Center demonstrate that osteopontin is induced by inflammation and prolongs the inflammatory state

In a new publication in International Journal of Molecular Sciences, researchers at the UW O’Brien Center demonstrate that osteopontin (OPN) is induced by inflammation and prolongs the inflammatory state. Genetic blockade of OPN accelerates recovery after inflammation, including a resolution of prostate fibrosis. See the full text here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8617904/.
