Distinct mural cells and fibroblasts promote pathogenic plasma cell accumulation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
20 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterised by significant but poorly understood immune and antibody responses. This study examines the spatial transcriptomes and microenvironmental niches of antibody-producing plasma cells and tertiary lymphoid structures in IPF lungs, and the molecular pathways influencing antibody accumulation and pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS: Explant lung tissues from IPF...
