[The role of fibroblasts in the immunomodulation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: mechanisms, therapeutic targets, and translational medicine applications].

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease characterized by irreversible scarring of the lung parenchyma. A paradigm shift has emerged in understanding fibroblasts' roles-from passive collagen producers t…
