Mechanism of lipopolysaccharide-mediated induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition of alveolar type II epithelial cells in absence of other inflammatory cells
Several studies have shown that gram-negative bacilli infection can cause acute lung injury, and that consequent pulmonary fibrosis is caused when alveolar type-II epithelial cells undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the mechanism underlying this change remains unclear. This st...
