Boosting AMPK Protein Activity May Help Fight Tissue Fibrosis in PF, Other Diseases
Researchers in Finland have identified a protein called AMPK as a possible new target for therapies aimed to treat pulmonary fibrosis and other fibrotic diseases. Their study, “AMPK Negatively Regulates Tensin-Dependent Integrin Activity,” appeared in The Journal of Cell Biology. In human tissues, the space between adjacent cells, called…
