The possible role of hypoxia-induced exosomes on the fibroblast metabolism in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
15 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has a high incidence and prevalence among patients over 65 years old. While its exact etiology remains unknown, several risk factors have recently been identified. Hypoxia is associated with IPF due to the abnormal architecture of lung parenchyma and the accumulation of extracellular matrix produced by activated fibroblasts. Exosomes play a crucial role in intercellular...
