Lung remodeling mechanisms in chronic lung diseases

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2014
To summarize the new knowledge on tissue remodeling in the context of lung diseases. Tissue remodeling includes changes in cells: differentiation; response to growths factors, hormones, or environmental factors; and composition of the extracellular matrix. So, can one trigger cause them all or are they independently regulated?New evidence from clinical
