Pulmonary fibrosis has been characterized by abnormal proliferation of fibroblasts and
massive deposition of the extracellular matrix, which results from a complex interplay of …

Abstract Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) has a critical function in bone and cartilage
development and in repairing damaged organs and tissue. However, clinical use of BMP-2 …

Telocytes (TCs) represent a new distinct type of interstitial cells found in many organs,
including lungs. TCs are mainly defined by a small cellular body from which arise very long …

Objective. The absolute and relative changes of peripheral NK and T subsets are unclear in
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associated with pulmonary interstitial fibrosis (RA‐ILD). To …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the immunomodulatory mechanism by which Yangfei Huoxue
decoction (YHD) alleviates bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis (PF) in rats …

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) involves persistent inflammation and fibrosis, leading to
respiratory failure and even death. Adult tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) undergo self-renewal and differentiation into multiple
lineages. They exert anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects via either cell–cell …

Pulmonary fibrosis frequently occurs in rheumatic conditions, particularly systemic sclerosis-
associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). The pathology involves cell transformation …

We investigate the effects of interferon (IFN)-γ on human placenta-derived mesenchymal
stromal cells (hPMSCs), in particular, their adhesion, proliferation and migration and …

Lung diseases are major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The progress in
regenerative medicine and stem cell research in the lung are currently a fast‐growing …
