Trajectory modeling of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition reveals galectin-3 as a mediator in pulmonary fibrosis

Abstract The endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is an important source of fibrotic cells in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, how endothelial cells (ECs) are activated and how EndMT impact IPF remain largely elusive. Here, we use unsupervised pseudotemporal analysis to recogni...
