Pulmonary Fibrosis

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) consists of collagen, elastin, and protein sugars. When various inflammatory reactions in the lungs occur, fibroblasts are stimulated to secrete collagen to repair the lung interstitial tissue, which is the process of the human body's own repair after the lungs are injured. However, after the fibrosis process is out of control, it will evolve into pulmonary fibrosis disease.
