Background Idiopathic and toxic pulmonary fibrosis are severe diseases starting classically in the subpleural area of the lung. It has recently been suggested that pleural mesothelial cells acquire a myofibroblast phenotype under fibrotic conditions induced by TGF-β1 or bleomycin. The importance and role of inflammation in fibrogenesis are still controversial. In this work, we explored the role of...
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease characterized by the proliferation of myofibroblasts and the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the lungs. TGF‐β1 is the major profibrotic cytokine involved in IPF and is responsible for myofibroblast proliferation and differentiation and ECM synthesis. αB‐crystallin is constitutively expressed in the lungs and is inducible by...
Twenty-five repetitive elements are first described in the genomes of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi Gigaspora margarita, Gig. rosea and Glomus mosseae. Nineteen repetitive DNA sequences isolated by genomic library screening and four by self-priming PCR had no homology to known DNA sequences, except for two Gig. margarita sequences and one Gig. rosea sequence which showed amino acid similarity...
