IL-1β creates persistent pulmonary inflammation accompanied by elevated transforming growth factor β (TGF-β levels and is associated with abnormal elastogenesis, which is observed in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Although progress has been made in this field, the mechanisms underlying this process remain only partially understood.
