β-III tubulin identifies anti-fibrotic state of pericytes in pulmonary fibrosis

2025-04-19

Abstract excerpt

Pericytes have been implicated in pulmonary fibrosis, yet their activated cellular states and functional roles remain largely unclear. Here, we identified β-III tubulin (Tuj1) as a distinctive marker for fibrosis-associated lung pericytes. Most pericytes in fibrotic regions are Tuj1-positive and interact uniquely with multiple endothelial cells, localizing near collagen-producing fibroblasts and pro-fibrotic SPP1...
