Sequencing of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis-related genes reveals independent single gene associations [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Previous studies investigating a genetic basis for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have focused on resequencing single genes in IPF kindreds or cohorts to determine the genetic contributions to IPF.

Target inhibition of galectin-3 by inhaled TD139 in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

European Respiratory Journal, 2020
Galectin (Gal)-3 is a profibrotic β-galactoside-binding lectin that plays a key role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and IPF exacerbations. TD139 is a novel and potent small-molecule inhibitor of Gal-3.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Caused by Damaged Mitochondria and Imbalanced Protein Homeostasis in Alveolar Epithelial Type II Cell

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
By systematizing a large body of evidence and propose a cascade relationship between protein homeostasis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and pro‐fibrotic factor, providing a theoretical basis for ATII cells dysfunction as a possible pathophysiological initiating event for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Normal Expiratory Flow Rate and Lung Volumes in Patients with Combined Emphysema and Interstitial Lung Disease: A Case Series and Literature Review

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2011
Pulmonary function tests in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis characteristically show a restrictive pattern including small lung volumes and increased expiratory flow rates resulting from a reduction in pulmonary compliance due to diffuse ...

Characterizing Pulmonary Fibrosis Patterns in Post-COVID-19 Patients through Machine Learning Algorithms [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic has left a lasting impact on global healthcare systems, with increasing evidence of pulmonary fibrosis emerging as a post-infection complication. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of pulmonary fibrosis patterns in post-COVID-19 patients from South and Central Iraq, employing advanced machine learning algorithms.

Proliferating SPP1/MERTK-expressing macrophages in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

European Respiratory Journal, 2019
A comprehensive understanding of the changes in gene expression in cell types involved in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) will shed light on the mechanisms underlying the loss of alveolar epithelial cells and development of honeycomb cysts and ...

A Novel Protein‐Polysaccharide Oral Nanoemulsion Targeting Activated Hepatic Stellate Cells to Enhance the Therapeutic Effect of Pirfenidone on Fibrosis After Transarterial Chemoembolization for Liver Cancer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate liver fibrosis. In this study, a novel oral targeting nanoemulsion is fabricated to enhance the therapeutic effect of antifibrotic drug‐pirfenidone (PFD) on fibrosis after TACE. Studies have shown that PFD nanoemulsion can enhance the oral liver targeting effect of PFD, and effectively improve the ...

Kidney Fibrosis In Vitro and In Vivo Models: Path Toward Physiologically Relevant Humanized Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses kidney diseases with a focus on kidney fibrosis and the models currently used. It highlights the limitations of animal and 2D in vitro models in replicating human kidney anatomy and physiology. Consequently, there is a significant need for humanized 3D in vitro models, such as 3D cell aggregates, membranes and hydrogels, on‐chip ...
