Alveolar Type II Cell-derived MMP1 <sup>high</sup> basal cells promote destructive microcysts in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
2025-12-11
Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal lung disease characterized by progressive epithelial metaplasia and widespread fibrosis. Alveolar microcysts develop near terminal airways in IPF and are linked to poor outcome. Using HTII-280 as a short-term lineage marker of AT2-derived AT0 (SFTPC + /SCGB3A2 + ) and basaloid (KRT17⁺) cells, together with organoids and spatial transcriptomics (Xenium), we highlight...
