Clonal expansion of alveolar fibroblast progeny drives pulmonary fibrosis in mouse models

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) has been called a fibroproliferative disease, yet the functional importance of proliferating fibroblasts to PF has not been systematically examined. In response to alveolar injury, quiescent alveolar fibroblasts differentiate into fibrotic fibroblasts that express high amount...
