A Nerve-Fibroblast Axis in Mammalian Lung Fibrosis
2024-09-09
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Fibrosis contributes to incurable pathologies in vital organs including the lung. Myofibroblasts are fibrogenic effector cells that accumulate via incompletely understood mechanisms. We discovered that α1-adrenoreceptor expressing myofibroblasts receive sympathetic nerve-derived noradrenergic inputs in fibrotic mouse and human lungs. We combined optical clearing, whole lung imaging, cell-specifi...
