This article is based on a poster originally authored by Fiona Leslie, Chloe Whiting, and Megan Webster. TGF-β1-mediated activation of fibroblasts, their transition to α-SMA-expressing myofibroblasts, ...
Metabolic reprogramming in fibrotic lung diseases involves key metabolites like lactate, succinate, and 2-hydroxyglutarate, driving inflammation and fibroblast activation. Lactate accumulation ...
“Pharmacological inhibition of p38 MAPK significantly reduced α-SMA and Col3A1 expression in both TGF-β1-stimulated fibroblasts and primary IPF cells” Led by Shan Zhu — with corresponding author Yan Y ...
A new PET/CT imaging technique that visualizes activated fibroblasts in the heart muscle enables early detection of multiple forms of cardiomyopathy, according to research presented at the Society of ...
