Targeting IGFBP-5 May Be Viable Strategy to Treat Pulmonary Fibrosis, Preclinical Study Finds
Researchers from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) may have found a new therapeutic target for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis using a preclinical model of the disease. The candidate protein, called insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP-5), induces lung fibrosis (scarring) early on by turning on genes…
