microRNA-328 in exosomes derived from M2 macrophages exerts a promotive effect on the progression of pulmonary fibrosis via FAM13A in a rat model
Lung disease: Small RNAs promoting pulmonary fibrosis Studies in rats suggest that microRNAs, small molecules of ribonucleic acid, released by macrophage cells of the immune system can promote pulmonary fibrosis (PF), the formation of scar tissue in lungs.
