The PIEZO1/CISD1/IP3R Mechanotransduction Axis Drives Macrophage Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Inflammatory Activation in Pulmonary Fibrosis
ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and elevated tissue stiffness. While aberrant mechanotransduction is increasingly recognized as a key driver of fibrotic progression, the mechanisms by which...
