An investigation into the contribution of airway cells to the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF) is a debilitating lung disease leading to progressive destruction of the alveolar parenchyma. It is believed to be the result of an uncontrolled wound healing response triggered by repetitive injury to the alveolar epithelium and a self-propagating cycle of epithelial cell injury, fibroblast activation and collagen deposition. The hypothesis explored here is that airway macrophag...
