BACKGROUND
Pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare, most often idiopathic fibrotic lung disease with poor prognosis, mainly affecting adults. Biallelic pathogenic variants in the deoxyguanosine kinase gene (DGUOK) cause a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion syndrome, predominantly affecting infants with sever...

BOS engages structural-cell circuits largely shared with RAS and fibrotic lung diseases, but along an airway-centered rather than parenchyma-centered axis, and shared structural programs may therefore be targetable across CLAD phenotypes.

A potential involvement of vascular remodelling in CLAD pathophysiology is suggested, with changes consistent with pro-inflammatory and fibrogenic processes in CD31+ regions.

Considering the multifaceted differences of RAS and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a surprising general principle of an entity-spanning composition of the fibrotic niche by aberrant basaloid cells localized at the fibrotic edge, ectopic COL15A1+ pVECs and CTHRC1+ fibrotic fibroblasts is revealed.
