Antifibrotics Modify B-Cell–Induced Fibroblast Migration and Activation in Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
9 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
B-cell activation is increasingly linked to numerous fibrotic lung diseases, and it is well known that aggregates of lymphocytes form in the lung of many of these patients. Activation of B-cells by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) drives the release of inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and metalloproteases important in the pathophysiology of pulmonary fibrosis. However, the specific mechanisms of B-cell...
