Autophagy induced by glycosylated CD147 attenuates fibroblast activation and myofibroblast differentiation
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and invariably fatal interstitial lung disease driven by persistent alveolar epithelial injury, which triggers aberrant fibroblast activation and pathological myofibroblast differentiation. In this study, we identify CD147—a heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein...
