Journal ArticleDOI

Pulmonary fibrosis: searching for model answers.

TL;DR: There are still good reasons to continue adapting and using one of its earliest examples, the bleomycin model, in post-genomic pulmonary fibrosis research, and a brief review of the exacting requirements will place the strengths of this particular model in perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutrophil elastase: mediator of extracellular matrix destruction and accumulation.

TL;DR: Emerging evidence suggests that the engagement of cellular pathways with more direct effects on fibrogenic mediator generation and collagen synthesis appears to underpin the actions of neutrophil elastase in promoting lung matrix accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Outcome of Hospitalization for COVID-19 in Patients with Interstitial Lung Disease: An International Multicenter Study

Thomas M Drake, +77 more
TL;DR: Patients with ILD are at increased risk of death from COVID-19, particularly those with poor lung function and obesity, and Stringent precautions should be taken to avoid CO VID-19 in patients with I LD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Passive Stiffness of Myocardium From Congenital Heart Disease and Implications for Diastole

TL;DR: The transition from normal to very-low stiffness myocytes may mark irreversible dilatation, and in vitro passive stiffness of volume- or pressure-overloaded myocardium mainly from congenital heart disease was related to increased myocardial stiffness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mice lacking neutrophil elastase are resistant to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

TL;DR: Data point to novel and unexpected fibrogenic consequences of neutrophil elastase activity in the inflamed lung as evidenced by assessment of indices of DNA and cell damage.
