Fibroblast-enriched endoplasmic reticulum protein TXNDC5 promotes pulmonary fibrosis by augmenting TGFβ signaling through TGFBR1 stabilization

Pulmonary fibrosis is a major public health problem with unclear mechanism and limited therapeutic options. Here the authors show that a fibroblast-enriched endoplasmic reticulum protein, TXNDC5, promotes pulmonary fibrosis by stabilizing TGFBR1 and show the potential of TXNDC5 as a therapeutic targ...
