Abstract: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease of the lung caused by a rampant inflammatory response that results in the deposition of excessive extracellular matrix (ECM). IPF patient lungs also develop fibroblastic foci that… read more here.

Abstract: Objective Systemic Sclerosis is an autoimmune connective tissue disease which results in fibrosis of the skin and lungs. The disease is characterized by activation of myofibroblasts but what governs this is unknown. Gremlin-1 is a… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.934377
Abstract: Renal fibrosis causes structural and functional impairment of the kidney, which is a dominant component of chronic kidney disease. Recently, a novel mechanism, macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition (MMT), has been identified as a crucial component in renal… read more here.
