BMP3b is a Novel Antifibrotic Molecule Regulated by Meflin in Lung Fibroblasts
21 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Fibroblasts play a central role in the lung fibrotic process. Our recent study identified a novel subpopulation of lung fibroblasts expressing meflin (mesenchymal stromal cell- and fibroblast-expressing Linx paralogue), antifibrotic properties of which were confirmed by murine lung fibrosis model. Meflin-expressing fibroblasts were resistant to fibrogenesis induced by TGF-β (transforming growth...
