Abstract excerpt
Purpose: β2-microglobulin (β2m) is the light-chain subunit of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) molecules. Our group previously showed that β2m contributes to emphysema development by inducing epithelial cell senescence. However, the mechanism linking β2m to epithelial senescence remains unclear. Previous studies have reported mitochondrial dysfunction in senescent lung cells from patients with...
