Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) has been validated as a promising therapeutic target for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a devastating interstitial lung disease lacking really effective therapeutic drugs, particularly exacerbated in the post-COVID-19...
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Mulberry leaves (Morus alba L.) are used in traditional Chinese medicine to clear the lungs and dispel wind-heat. Despite their common use, chemical reference substance rely solely on rutin, which may not reflect their...
Pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by progressive lung scarring, leading to a decline in lung function and an increase in morbidity and mortality. This study leverages single-cell sequencing and machine learning to unravel the complex cellular and m...

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an escalating global health issue, characterized by rising rates of morbidity and mortality annually. Consequently, further investigation of potential damage mechanisms and potential preventive strategies for PF...
Micro-computed tomography (µCT)-based imaging plays a key role in monitoring disease progression and response to candidate drugs in various animal models of human disease, but manual image processing is still highly time-consuming and prone to operat...
Therapies halting the progression of fibrosis are ineffective and limited. Activated myofibroblasts are emerging as important targets in the progression of fibrotic diseases. Previously, we performed a high-throughput screen on lung fibroblasts and s...
