In this video from Baylor Scott & White Health, watch David P. Mason, M.D., chief of thoracic surgery and lung transplantation, discuss what lung transplantation is, and how it can both extend and improve pulmonary fibrosis and other lung diseases patients’ life. Learn more about…
Pulmonary Fibrosis: Surgical Options for Lung Transplantation
Analysis of pooled data from three international, randomized, and placebo-controlled clinical trails — the Phase 2 TOMORROW trial and two Phase 3 INPULSIS trials — showed that nintedanib (Ofev) is an efficient and safe drug for the treatment of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The study, “Nintedanib…

LabTV shared this video in late 2015, where you can meet Abdo Durra- a research assistant in the Gomperts Lab at UCLA. Durra wants to understand and treat lung diseases, his main purpose being to develop a research model for IPF. Learn more about pulmonary fibrosis: https://bit.ly/1VElTQA…
Researchers discovered that mice exposed to bleomycin — a common pulmonary fibrosis model — displayed more intense fibrotic activity if they lacked the signaling factor PTEN. The findings suggest that exploring the signaling pathway involving PTEN might offer new insights into disease mechanisms, and aid the search for new treatment…

Anyone can suffer from pulmonary fibrosis, but it’s more common among middle-aged and older adults. Each patient has an individualized experience with the disease, which means that it can progress faster in some patients than others. As the lung tissue becomes thicker, the lungs lose their ability to properly…
Hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS2) deletion from fibrotic fibroblasts induces senescence (gradual deterioration) in the cells and fibrotic clearance in mouse models of lung fibrosis. The findings, reported in the study “Hyaluronan synthase 2 regulates fibroblast senescence in pulmonary fibrosis” and published in the journal Matrix Biology, suggest…
