Abstract excerpt
Impaired interaction of fibroblasts with pneumocytes contributes to the progression of chronic lung disease such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Mucin 5B (MUC5B) is associated with IPF. Here we analyzed the interaction of primary fibroblasts and alveolar type 2 (AT2) pneumocytes in the organoid model. Single-cell analysis, histology, and qRT-PCR revealed that fibroblasts expressing high levels of fibrosis...
