Pulmonary Macrophages: A New Therapeutic Pathway in Fibrosing Lung Disease?

Trends in molecular medicine - 1 Apr 2016

Byrne Adam J, Maher Toby M, Lloyd Clare M

Abstract excerpt

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a growing clinical problem which can result in breathlessness or respiratory failure and has an average life expectancy of 3 years from diagnosis. Therapeutic options for PF are limited and there is therefore a significant unmet clinical need. The recent resurgent interest in macrophage biology has led to a new understanding of lung macrophage origins, biology, and phenotypes. In this...
