Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an irreversible progressive interstitial lung disease of unknown cause. The poorly understood pathophysiology of IPF poses substantial challenges to the development of effective anti-lung fibrotic drugs. The NLRP3 inflammasome, a key component of the innate immune system, has recently been linked to the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis. However, the specific contributions of...
