Disorders of lung matrix remodeling

  • Text
  • PDF
Abstract

A set of lung diseases share the tendency for the development of progressive fibrosis ultimately leading to respiratory failure. This review examines the common pathogenetic features of these disorders in light of recent observations in both humans and animal models of disease, which reveal important pathways of lung matrix remodeling.

Photomicrographs of active matrix remodeling in: (a) UIP, (b) BO, and (c) COP. Filled arrows point to areas of active matrix remodeling in each disorder. Open arrows point to airway or alveolar epithelial cells overlying the remodeling matrix.
