Are mast cells instrumental for fibrotic diseases?
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal lung disorder of unknown etiology characterised by accumulation of lung fibroblasts and extracellular matrix deposition, ultimately leading to compromised tissue architecture and lung function capacity. IPF has a heterogeneous clinical course; however...
