Substrate stiffness engineered to replicate disease conditions influence senescence and fibrotic responses in primary lung fibroblasts
2022-09-28
Abstract excerpt
In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) there is excessive ECM deposition, increased stiffness and ultimately destruction of lung parenchyma. IPF presents mainly in the elderly, implying that senescence, a hallmark of ageing, contributes to disease progression. Several studies have reported that IPF is characterised by increased senescence and accumulating evidence suggests that structural changes, such as increase...
