Role of microRNAs and effects of substrate, age and stretch in experimental models for IPF
2020-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a debilitating progressive disease mostly affecting the elderly, and due to dysregulated wound healing repair. It is characterised by increased matrix production and altered ECM composition, leading to increased tissue rigidity, and eventually, death. In mammalian lungs, mechanical stretch is generated by the diaphragm and chest muscles and transferred first to lung septa and then at ce...
