causing progressive scarring (pulmonary fibrosis). The scarring causes the lungs to stiffen and makes it harder to breathe. Lung damage from ILD is often irreversible and gets worse over time.14
Interstitialpneumonia.Bacteria, viruses, or fungi can infect the interstitium. A bacteria calledMycoplasma pneumoniaeis the most common cause. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This makes scar tissue grow in the interstitium. Experts don’t know what causes it. ...

From a study of these and previously published cases it is evident that the disease usually appears several years after the onset of joint symptoms. It begins as apical consolidation and fibrosis and usually extends to the upper zones and sometimes the mid zones. When it is not bilateral from...
stage. In the late phase of SARS (2–3 weeks), referred as the fibrotic stage, the lungs exhibit dense septal and alveolar fibrosis. The time duration is counted from onset of the symptoms, and the pathological process does not always evolve through all the three stages, but may cease or...
and inhibit the metastasis of A549 cells in vivo [230]. Meanwhile, another kind of cryptotanshinone (CTS) extracted from the rhizome ofSalvia miltiorrhizaBunge can not only prevent pulmonary fibrosis [231], but also promote ferroptosis of lung cancer by inhibiting GPX4 activity, and activate caspas...
Pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is accompanied by extensive fibrosis which is a major cause of symptoms and death. The microenvironment of MPM includes cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), endothelial cells, macrophages and other immune cells. CAFs are the main component of the MPM microenvironment [7]...
