Legumain (asparaginyl endopeptidase) modulates extracellular matrix dynamics in pulmonary fibrosis
Pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition driven by fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition (FMT) and by an altered proteolytic balance.
Pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition driven by fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition (FMT) and by an altered proteolytic balance. While the roles of several cysteine proteases have been documented, the specific contribution of cathepsin V…
