Role of interleukins in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis
Interleukins, a group of cytokines participating in inflammation and immune response, are proved to be involved in the formation and development of pulmonary fibrosis.

Critical role for iron accumulation in the pathogenesis of fibrotic lung disease [PDF]
Increased iron levels and dysregulated iron homeostasis, or both, occur in several lung diseases. Here, the effects of iron accumulation on the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis and associated lung function decline was investigated using a combination ...

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

Tuftelin1 drives experimental pulmonary fibrosis progression by facilitating stress fiber assembly
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 ...

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

Obstructive sleep apnea and nocturnal hypoxemia in adult patients with cystic fibrosis
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), nocturnal hypoxemia and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) are common comorbidities in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Most of the data showing this originates from children and adolescents.

Pulmonary Fibrosis in COVID-19 Survivors: Predictive Factors and Risk Reduction Strategies
Although pulmonary fibrosis can occur in the absence of a clear-cut inciting agent, and without a clinically clear initial acute inflammatory phase, it is more commonly associated with severe lung injury.

Imaging diagnosis-computed tomography of traction bronchiectasis secondary to pulmonary fibrosis in a Patterdale Terrier [PDF]
An 8-year-old, Patterdale terrier was referred for evaluation of tachypnoea, exercise intolerance, and weight loss. Computed tomographic images showed pneumomediastinum, diffuse pulmonary ground glass opacity, and marked dilatation of peripheral bronchi,
