The paper identifies and characterizes hillocks in postnatal mouse and human airways, showing their presence from postnatal day 3 and functional maturation during development.

This study identifies LIFR as a master amplifier of fibroblast activation in IPF, showing that blocking LIFR reduces fibrosis in ex vivo tissue.

This study uses PET-MRI to detect cardiopulmonary fibrosis in a mouse model of left ventricular dysfunction, showing increased signals correlate with fibrotic markers.

The paper shows that inhibiting lactate transporters MCT1 and MCT4 reduces myofibroblast differentiation and pulmonary fibrosis in vitro and in vivo.
