IL-11 disrupts alveolar epithelial progenitor function
2022-11-12
Abstract excerpt
IL-11 is linked to the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), since IL-11 induces myofibroblast differentiation and stimulates their excessive collagen deposition in the lung. The alveolar architecture is disrupted in IPF, yet the effect of IL-11 on dysregulated alveolar repair associated with IPF remains to be elucidated. We hypothesized that epithelial-fibroblast communication associated with lung...
