S1P Lyase: An Endogenous Suppressor of Pulmonary Fibrosis

In this video from Thorax (the youtube channel of Thorax journal), watch Professor Viswanathan (Nati) Natarajan, from the University of Illinois, Chicago, talk about idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a chronic and progressive lung disease for which the prognosis is poor and diagnosis is difficult to conduct. Prof. Viswanathan’s…

Advanced 3-D Imaging Technique Used for First Time to View IPF in Lung Tissues

Researchers at the University of Southampton used an advanced, 3-D X-ray imaging technology for a first time on lung tissue samples from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients, gaining a better understanding of how the aggressive lung disease develops in the body. The study, “Three-dimensional characterization of fibroblast foci in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis” was published…
