The effort by the Center for Regenerative Medicine of Boston University, Boston Medical Center, and GSK aims to find new ...

In the first 2 weeks after bleomycin exposure, the mice develop alveolar as well as interstitial fibrosis (Peng et al., 2013). Gene expression at days 1 or 2 (inflammation); 7 or 14 (acute fibrosis) ...

Moreover, the severity of CT scan changes correlated with the abundance of neutrophils and a type of macrophage called monocyte-derived alveolar macrophage, or MoAM. A higher abundance of MoAMs ...

The authors first showed that patients with idiopathic PF or bleomycin-treated wild-type mice express more citrullinated histone H3 (citH3) than controls. This observation aligns with studies citing ...
