Matrix biomechanics and dynamics in pulmonary fibrosis

Abstract

The composition and mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix are dramatically altered during the development and progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Recent evidence indicates that these changes in matrix composition and mechanics are not only end-results of fibrotic remodeling, but active participants in driving disease progression. These insights have stimulated interest in identifying the components and physical aspects of the matrix that contribute to cell activation and disease initiation and progression. This review summarizes current knowledge regarding the biomechanics and dynamics of the ECM in mouse models and human IPF, and discusses how matrix mechanical and compositional changes might be non-invasively assessed, therapeutically targeted, and biologically restored to resolve fibrosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
