Implication

Review highlights clinical and diagnostic evolutions in interstitial lung diseases, indicating how advanced imaging and molecular targets improve patient classification and disease management.

Key Points

To review the historical advances in classification, diagnostics, and pathogenic understanding of interstitial lung diseases over the past century.
Synthesized historical and clinical literature examining developments in physiologic testing, high-resolution computed tomography, and histopathologic assessment.
Evaluated molecular technologies including microarrays, mass spectrometry, laser capture microdissection, and animal models investigating pulmonary fibrogenesis.
High-resolution computed tomography and refined histopathologic definitions of usual interstitial pneumonia enabled clear separation from other idiopathic interstitial pneumonia patterns to improve prognostic accuracy.
Emerging genomic, proteomic, and animal model methodologies identified novel molecular pathways capable of interfering with lung fibrogenesis to guide future therapy.
