16 Apr 2024
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and chronic disease that significantly impacts patient quality of life, and its incidence is on the rise. The pathogenesis of IPF remains poorly understood. Alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells are crucial in the onset and progression of IPF, yet the specific mechanisms involved are not well defined.
