Lung diseases




IPF:
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a chronic degenerative diseases of unknown etiology (Raghu, et al. 2011) , derived from lung parenchyma changes caused by epithelial activation of fibroblast migration, proliferation and differentiation into active myofibroblasts that secrete large amount of extracellular matrix components (Martinez, Fernando J., et al. 2017).
Here, you can see some genes that have been reported in the literature to be relevant for IPF. We used the following datasets: GSE32537 GSE21369 GSE24206 GSE94060 GSE72073 GSE35145 GSE31934.
