CD163+ macrophages drive rapid pulmonary fibrosis via osteopontin secretion
3 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background Rapid pulmonary fibrosis (RPF) is a severe condition characterized by the rapid accumulation of excessive extracellular matrix (ECM), resulting in high mortality among patients with severe respiratory infections. CD163 + macrophages were found to be enriched in RPF patients, their role in this disease requires elucidation. Methods We integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-nucleus...
