A novel molecular interaction in bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome in lung transplantation patients: the role of SERPINA3 and osteoprotegerin

This study investigates the relationship between SERPINA3, osteoprotegerin (OPG), and mast cell mediators in bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and finds they are expressed by mast cells and may form a complex contributing to airway remodeling.

Contrasting responses of control and fibrotic lung fibroblasts to fibrotic stimuli: the role of osteoprotegerin in extracellular matrix remodeling

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.

Interaction of osteoprotegerin with fibulin-1 is essential for extracellular matrix deposition in fibrotic lung tissue

This study investigates the interaction between osteoprotegerin and fibulin-1 in lung fibrosis, finding they form a complex with fibulin-1 bridging OPG and LTBP1, influencing extracellular matrix deposition.
