Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal disease with limited treatment options. In this study we focus on the profibrotic properties of airway basal cells (ABC) obtained from patients with IPF (IPF-ABC). Single cell RNA sequencing of bronchial brushes revealed extensive reprogramming of IPF-ABC towards a KRT17 high PTEN low dedifferentiated cell type. In the 3D organoid model, compared...
