Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis : exploration of aberrant epithelial wound repair and stem cell-mediated regenerative approaches

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal form of fibrotic lung disease. The pathogenesis of IPF is unclear. An aberrant alveolar epithelial wound repair is likely to be involved in the disease process. Alveolar bronchiolisation, a process where bronchiolar Clara cells migrate into the affected...
