Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic and progressive disease depicted by excessive scarring, which leads to increased tissue stiffness and loss of lung function. The condition is caused by small injuries to the alveolar epithelium, consequential in the formation of fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, and fibroblastic foci areas within the lung tissue.
