Highlighting fibroblast plasticity in lung fibrosis: the WI-38 cell line as a model for investigating the myofibroblast and lipofibroblast switch
E. Pacheco, M. Maregua, S. Bellusci, S. Rivetti
This study uses WI-38 cells to investigate the reversible switch between myofibroblast and lipofibroblast phenotypes in lung fibrosis, showing similar transcriptomic responses to treatments and supporting the LIF-MYF switch.
