<scp>mTORC</scp> 1 activation decreases autophagy in aging and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and contributes to apoptosis resistance in <scp>IPF</scp> fibroblasts
26 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, and usually lethal disease associated with aging. However, the molecular mechanisms of the aging process that contribute to the pathogenesis of IPF have not been elucidated. IPF is characterized by abundant foci of highly active fibroblasts and myofibroblasts resistant to apoptosis. Remarkably, the role of aging in the autophagy activity of lung...
