Biomaterial-based 3D human lung models replicate pathological characteristics of early pulmonary fibrosis

2025-02-17

Abstract excerpt

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and incurable lung disease characterized by tissue scarring that disrupts gas exchange. Epithelial cell dysfunction, fibroblast activation, and excessive extracellular matrix deposition drive this pathology that ultimately leads to respiratory failure. Mechanistic studies have shown that repeated injury to alveolar epithelial cells initiates an aberrant wound-he...
