摘要
To the Editor:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF)is a chronic,progressive,and fibrotic lung disease.The clinical processes of IPF include dyspnea,decreased lung function,and cough.The median survival time of patients with IPF is approximately 3 years.The 5-year survival rate is less than 30%.[1]Although some progress has been made in anti-fibrotic therapy,IPF is still an incurable disease.Therefore,it is necessary to explore the pathological process of IPF from the perspective of cell biology,and these explorations can provide a basis for the treatment of IPF.
