Both the acute pancreatitis (Figure 2(b)) and sham-operated groups (Figure 2(a)) demonstrated high levels of TβRII in bronchial epithelial and smooth muscle cells, while alveoli, fibroblasts, endothelial, and infiltrating cells showed moderate to weak staining (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)). Here, TGFBR2 is linked to acute pancreatitis.
