Gene expression analysis reveals matrilysin as a key regulator of pulmonary fibrosis in mice and humans
30 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive and largely untreatable group of disorders that affects up to 100,000 people on any given day in the United States. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms that lead to end-stage human pulmonary fibrosis we analyzed samples from patients with histologically proven pulmonary fibrosis (usual interstitial pneumonia) by using oligonucleotide microarrays. Gene expression patterns...
