Macrophage–Derived Ferritin Exacerbates Silica‐Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis via PIK3R2‐Mediated Fibroblast Differentiation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies ferritin as a pivotal mediator of silica‐induced pulmonary fibrosis. Macrophage‐derived ferritin drives fibroblast‐to‐myofibroblast differentiation via the PIK3R2/SMAD pathway, while ferritin knockdown alleviates fibrosis. These findings define ferritin as both a biomarker and pathogenic driver, highlighting ferritin‐PIK3R2 ...
