Competing Interests
We have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: A patent application has been submitted by NYU Medical School entitled "Methods for modulating TGF-beta signaling", serial number: 13/355,798. The application involves potential targeting of ADAM12 to modulate signaling in Th17 cells. This does not alter our adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials as detailed in your guide for the authors.
