Role of Epigenetic Mechanisms in Lung Fibrosis: Therapeutic Opportunities and Challenges
Abstract: Lung fibrosis poses a serious risk to one's health since it might result in respiratory failure due to an abnormal accumulation of fibrotic tissue in the lungs. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as histone changes, DNA methylation, and non-coding RNAs, closely control gene expression patterns and cellular processes associated with lung fibrosis. Anomalies in DNA methylation patterns connected to changes in gene expression profiles and disturbances in fibrotic signalling pathways are potential …
