The paper shows that in IPF lungs, COL6 gene expression is higher but protein levels and synthesis around airways and vessels are lower, suggesting disrupted matrix organization and fibroblast persistence.

The paper examines collagen crosslinking and organization in healthy and diseased human lungs, finding differences in crosslinking and collagen maturity between fibrotic and COPD tissues.

The paper compares collagen organization and crosslinking in IPF and NR-ARDS, finding differences in collagen maturity despite similar collagen content.

This study compares OPG secretion and ECM remodeling in control and fibrotic lung fibroblasts under fibrotic conditions, finding opposite responses in matrix stiffness and collagen fiber properties.
