Loss of cell junctional components and matrix alterations drive cell desquamation and fibrotic changes in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
2024-06-22
Abstract excerpt
The distal bronchioles in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) exhibit histopathological abnormalities such as bronchiolization, peribronchiolar fibrosis and honeycomb cysts that contribute to the overall architectural remodeling of lung tissue seen in the disease. Here we describe an additional histopathologic finding of epithelial desquamation in patients with IPF, wherein epithelial cells detach from the basemen...
