The interplay of DAMPs, TLR4, and proinflammatory cytokines in pulmonary fibrosis

Journal of molecular medicine, 2021
Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic debilitating condition characterized by progressive deposition of connective tissue, leading to a steady restriction of lung elasticity, a decline in lung function, and a median survival of 4.5 years. The leading causes of

ROCKing pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2013
Clinical vignette: A 76-year-old man consults you for increasing shortness of breath over the past two years and an increasing requirement for home oxygen. A video-assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy shows findings of usual interstitial pneumonitis, and he has no identifiable cause for pulmonary fibrosis, so he is considered to have idiopathic pulmonary
