In contrast, physiological cell shedding allows the renewal of the epithelial monolayer without compromising the barrier function. Here, we investigated the role of live cell extrusion in epithelial ...

Pulmonary fibrosis is associated with the senescence of alveolar type II epithelial (ATⅡ) cells. Additionally, ATⅡ senescence can lead to a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, which affects ...
