Dysfunctional ERG signaling drives pulmonary vascular aging and persistent fibrosis

Vascular dysfunction is associated with ageing and chronic diseases, but its role in lung repair and fibrosis is unclear. Here, the authors show that the endothelial transcription factor ERG is a mediator of vascular repair whose function declines in aged lungs resulting in sustained fibrosis
