Abstract excerpt
Abstract Rationale Given the paucity of effective treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), new insights into the deleterious mechanisms controlling lung fibroblast activation, the key cell type driving the fibrogenic process, are essential to develop new therapeutic strategies. TGF-β (transforming growth factor-β) is the main profibrotic factor, but its inhibition is associated with severe side effects...
