The Postnatal Lung Maturation Disrupted by Increased Pulmonary Blood Flow and Its Clinical Implications

Key Points

• This research aims to establish a neonatal model for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and identify potential therapeutic targets.
• Developed a neonatal model of IPF.
• Identified immune modulators as therapeutic targets.
• Assessed cell cycle regulators and neural mediators for their roles in lung maturation.
• Established the first neonatal IPF model.
• Identified key therapeutic targets that can potentially mitigate lung maldevelopment.
• Highlighted specific inhibitors and activators related to immune and cell cycle functions.
