Prostaglandin D2 Inhibits Collagen Secretion From Lung Fibroblasts by Activating the DP Receptor
Abstract.: Lung fibroblasts are responsible for collagen secretion during normal tissue repair and the development of fibrosis. Many other prostaglandins have been reported to regulate collagen synthesis in lung fibroblasts, but the role of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is unknown. In this study, we inves...
