Advances in the management of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and progressive pulmonary fibrosis
Similarly to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), other interstitial lung diseases can develop progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) characterized by declining lung function, a poor response to immunomodulatory therapies, and early mortality.

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

IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS. CORRECTION OF ERRORS
Substantial changes have been recently made in the concept of the diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The concept of disease pathogenesis and the pathomorphologic criteria for diagnosing usual interstitial pneumonia have been revised.

Akt1 regulates pulmonary fibrosis via modulating IL-13 expression in macrophages
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive interstitial pneumonia characterised by fibroblast accumulation, collagen deposition and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling.

Increased expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine(2A/B) receptors in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a rationale for therapeutic intervention [PDF]
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has a poor prognosis and limited responsiveness to available treatments. It is characterised by epithelial cell injury, fibroblast activation and proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition ...

TGF-β1: Gentlemanly orchestrator in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (Review)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a worldwide disease characterized by the chronic and irreversible decline of lung function. Currently, there is no drug to successfully treat the disease except for lung transplantation.

A review of current studies on cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying pulmonary fibrosis induced by chemicals [PDF]
Several studies showed that the inflammatory and fibrotic responses induced by polyhexamethylene guanidine phosphate (PHMG-p) were similar to those observed for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in South Korea in 2011.

Nintedanib for systemic sclerosis–associated interstitial lung disease [PDF]
BackgroundInterstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common manifestation of systemic sclerosis and a leading cause of systemic sclerosis-related death. Nintedanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been shown to have antifibrotic and antiinflammatory effects ...

Pirfenidone for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Beyond
Pirfenidone (PFD) slows the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) by inhibiting the exaggerated fibrotic response and possibly through additional mechanisms, such as anti-inflammatory effects.
