Significantly reduced damage was further substantiated by lower collagen content, alpha smooth muscle actin staining (ACTA2), and transforming growth factor β (Tgfb1) expression in Dkk3‐null animals 96 h after pancreatitis induction (Figure 5F–H), indicating less fibrosis at this time point. The gene discussed is TGFB1; the disease is pancreatitis.
