Alveolar-Basal Intermediates Drive Pulmonary Fibrosis via Coordination of a Pro-Fibrotic Signaling Niche in Silicosis

Barbara Zhao, Helen I. Warheit-Niemi, Kathleen C.S. Cook…·William J. Zacharias

The paper shows that alveolar-basal intermediates (ABI) drive pulmonary fibrosis by coordinating a pro-fibrotic signaling niche in silicosis.
