Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic 3‐dimensional network of macromolecules that
provides structural support for the cells and tissues. Accumulated knowledge clearly …

Structural changes involving tissue remodelling and fibrosis are major features of many
pulmonary diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) followed by repair with lung remodeling is
observed in COVID-19. These findings can lead to pulmonary terminal fibrosis, a form of …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal interstitial lung disease. Recent studies have
identified the key role of crosstalk between dysregulated epithelial cells, mesenchymal …

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is characterised by several grades of chronic inflammation and
collagen deposition in the interalveolar space and is a hallmark of interstitial lung diseases …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a significant factor in cancer progression. Collagens, as the
main component of the ECM, are greatly remodeled alongside cancer development. More …

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF), as an end-stage clinical phenotype of interstitial lung diseases
(ILDs), is frequently initiated after alveolar injury, in which ferroptosis has been identified as …

The mechanical behavior of the lungs has long been associated with the structural
properties of alveoli in pulmonary medicine. However, this structure-function relationship …

Pulmonary fibrosis is an often fatal lung disease. Immune cells such as macrophages were
shown to accumulate in the fibrotic lung, but their contribution to the fibrosis development is …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is exacerbated by injurious mechanical forces that
destabilize the pulmonary mechanical microenvironment homeostasis, leading to alveolar …
