Blocking Key Protein Restores Healthy Lung Function and Reduces Fibrosis in Mice
New Target in the Fight Against Pulmonary Fibrosis Pulmonary fibrosis is a devastating lung disease characterized by thickened, scarred lungs that struggle to deliver oxygen. In a new study, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) identified a cellular switch that drives this harmful remodeling and demonstrated a way to block it in…

Blocking key protein restores healthy lung function and reduces fibrosis in mice
Blocking a cellular switch to halt lung scarring Pulmonary fibrosis is a devastating lung disease where the tissue thickens and scar tissue progressively limits oxygen delivery. In a new study from UC San Francisco, researchers have identified a pivotal cellular switch that drives this damaging process and demonstrated that blocking it can protect lung function…
