From organ to cell: Multi-level telomere length assessment in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
7 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: A subset of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) contains short leukocyte telomeres or telomere related mutations. We previously showed that alveolar type 2 cells have short telomeres in fibrotic lesions. Our objectives were to better understand how telomere shortening associates with fibrosis in IPF lung and identify a subset of patients with telomere-related disease. METHODS: Average...
