Annexin A1: shifting the balance towards resolution and repair

Biol Chem. 2016 Oct 1;397(10):971-9. doi: 10.1515/hsz-2016-0180.

Abstract

Epithelial barriers play an important role in regulating mucosal homeostasis. Upon injury, the epithelium and immune cells orchestrate repair mechanisms that re-establish homeostasis. This process is highly regulated by protein and lipid mediators such as Annexin A1 (ANXA1). In this review, we focus on the pro-repair properties of ANXA1.
