Lung extracellular matrix modulates KRT5 <sup>+</sup> basal cell activity in pulmonary fibrosis
2022-12-18
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant expansion of KRT5 + basal cells in the distal lung accompanies progressive alveolar epithelial cell loss and tissue remodelling during fibrogenesis in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The mechanisms determining activity of KRT5 + cells in IPF have not been delineated. Here, we reveal a potential mechanism by which KRT5 + cells migrate within the fibrotic lung, navigating regional differences in col...
