Rare Group of T-Cells Trigger and Sustain Pulmonary Fibrosis in Mice, Study Finds

A rare form of immune T-cells promotes chronic inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis, researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found. Their discovery, made in a mice model of the disease, may lead to a new therapeutic target for lung fibrosis. The research report, “Deletion of mTORC1 activity in CD4+ T cells…

Because of this, six different diagnostic tools are needed for an accurate diagnosis of PF, according to the American Lung Association.

Crystalline Silica-induced Lung Inflammation and Fibrosis Treated in Mice

Blocking a specific molecular target — 4-1BB — reduced crystalline silica-induced lung inflammation and, consequently, pulmonary fibrosis in animal models, researchers reported. Inhaled crystalline silica is the main cause of silicosis, a condition characterized by chronic lung inflammation, and progressive and irreversible lung fibrosis. But the exact mechanisms by which crystalline silica…

Using Reflexology to Treat Pulmonary Fibrosis Symptoms
