Influence of weather and atmospheric pollution on physical activity in patients with COPD.

abstract：BACKGROUND:WNT/β-catenin signaling plays an important role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); however, the role of WNT10A via transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signaling remains unclear. METHODS:We evaluated the expression of WNT10A and TGF-β in bleomycin (BLM)-treated mice and the interactio...
