FSTL1 Promotes Alveolar Epithelial Cell Aging and Worsens Pulmonary Fibrosis by Affecting SENP1-Mediated DeSUMOylation

Scientists found that follistatin-like 1 (FSTL1) expression was upregulated in the lung tissues of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and that SENP1 was overexpressed in senescent alveolar epithelial cells.
