Transcriptome analysis of IPF fibroblastic foci identifies key pathways involved in fibrogenesis
19 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Fibroblastic foci represent the cardinal pathogenic lesion in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and comprise activated fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, the key effector cells responsible for dysregulated extracellular matrix deposition in multiple fibrotic conditions. The aim of this study was to define the major transcriptional programmes involved in fibrogenesis in IPF by profiling unmanipulated...
