Biochemical Pathway Seen for First Time to Play Role in Promoting Lung Fibrosis
A biochemical pathway in the lungs, in which an antioxidant called glutathione (GSH) binds to and changes the nature of specific proteins, may be involved in the development of pulmonary fibrosis, according to researchers at the University of Vermont. The study, “Attenuation of lung fibrosis in mice with a clinically relevant…
