| Abstract | Organ fibrosis and architectural remodeling can severely disrupt tissue function, often with fatal consequences. Fibrosis is the end result of chronic inflammatory reactions induced by a variety of stimuli, and the key cellular mediator of fibrosis comprises the myofibroblasts which, when activated, serve as the primary collagen-producing cells. Complex links exist between fibrosis, regeneration and carcinogenesis, and the concept that all organs contain common tissue fibrosis pathways that could be potential therapeutic targets is an attractive one. Because of the major impact of fibrosis on human health there is an unmet need for safe and effective therapies that directly target fibrosis. Halofuginone inhibits tissue fibrosis and regeneration, and thereby affects the development of tumors in various tissues along the gastrointestinal tract. The high efficacy of halofuginone in reducing the fibrosis that affects tumor growth and tissue regeneration is probably due to its dual role in inhibiting the signaling pathway of transforming growth factor β, on the one hand, and inhibiting the development of Th17 cells, on the other hand. At present halofuginone is being evaluated in a clinical trial for other fibrotic indication, and any clinical success in that trial would allow the use of halofuginone, also for all other fibrotic indications, including those of the gastrointestinal tract. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
