From the authors: “In conclusion, our findings demonstrate a critical role for Pim-1 kinase in regulating the inflammatory secretome of senescence lung fibroblasts and warrant further investigations into the utility of targeting Pim-1 as a therapy for [idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis].”
This study is highlighted as one of December’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
