Common idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis risk variants are associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis [PDF]

, 2021
A subset of patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) develop lung fibrosis that is clinically similar to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). To address the aetiological determinants of fibrotic HP, we investigated whether the common IPF genetic ...

Pulmonary Fibrosis [PDF]

, 2005
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic fibrosing lung disease limited to the lungs and associated with the histologic appearance of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) on surgical lung biopsy. The estimated prevalence in the United States is between 35,000 and 55,000 cases,and evidence suggests that the prevalence is increasing for IPF.

Sphingolipids in pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]

Advances in Biological Regulation, 2015
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease characterized by alveolar epithelial cell injury, accumulation of fibroblasts/myofibroblasts and deposition of extracellular matrix proteins. Levels of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a naturally occurring bioactive lipid, are elevated in bronchoalveolar fluids and lung tissues from IPF ...

Lung Cancer in Pulmonary Fibrosis: Tales of Epithelial Cell Plasticity [PDF]

, 2011
Lung epithelial cells exhibit a high degree of plasticity. Alterations to lung epithelial cell function are critically involved in several chronic lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis.

Physical activity and activity space in patients with pulmonary fibrosis not prescribed supplemental oxygen

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2017
Background Patients with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) have impaired quality of life, and research suggests that dyspnea and physical activity are primary drivers. As PF progresses, some patients notice the disease “shrinks their worlds”. The objective of this

Using bacterial biomarkers to identify early indicators of cystic fibrosis pulmonary exacerbation onset [PDF]

, 2011
Acute periods of pulmonary exacerbation are the single most important cause of morbidity in cystic fibrosis patients, and may be associated with a loss of lung function.

Rare and common variants in KIF15 contribute to genetic risk of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]

, 2022
RATIONALE: Genetic studies of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) have improved our understanding of this disease, but not all causal loci have been identified.

Tracking dyspnea up to supplemental oxygen prescription among patients with pulmonary fibrosis

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2017
Background Dyspnea is the hallmark symptom of pulmonary fibrosis. Supplemental oxygen (O2) is prescribed to many patients with pulmonary fibrosis in hopes of alleviating dyspnea and improving physical functioning.

Tuftelin1 drives experimental pulmonary fibrosis progression by facilitating stress fiber assembly

Respiratory Research, 2023
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD) with unknown etiology, characterized by sustained damage repair of epithelial cells and abnormal activation of fibroblasts, the underlying mechanism of the ...

Magnetic resonance imaging as a non-invasive tool to investigate pulmonary and renal fibrosis in small rodents : method and readout validation, animal model optimization, and substance testing [PDF]

, 2015
Pulmonary fibrosis, an end result of various types of lung damage including interstitial pneumonia and respiratory bronchiolitis (Gross and Hunninghake, 2001; Katzenstein and Myers, 1998; Lazenby et al., 1990) is a lethal disease characterized by ...
