  • Profibrotic macrophage populations dominate the immune cell landscape in IPF.

    “In terms of the IPF immune cell compartment, profibrotic macrophage populations dominate the immune cell landscape in IPF (Adams et al., 2020; Habermann et al., 2020).”

  • Aberrant basaloid cells are a unique epithelial feature of IPF (and COPD) expressing basal cell, senescence and EMT markers, and appear to overlay fibrotic foci.

    “Aberrant basaloid cells have recently been identified as a unique epithelial feature of IPF (and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) expressing basal cell, senescence and epithelial to mesenchymal transdifferentiation (EMT) markers and appear to overlay fibrotic foci (also known as fibroblastic foci), the histological hallmark of the disease (Adams et al., 2020).”

  • Peribronchial vascular endothelial cells, normally restricted to the bronchial circulation, are observed in areas of remodelling and aberrant angiogenesis in IPF.

    “Peribronchial vascular endothelial cells, normally restricted to the bronchial circulation, are observed in areas of remodelling and aberrant angiogenesis (Adams et al., 2020).”

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.
