The natural history of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Apoptosis has recently been proposed to contribute to the pathogenesis of emphysema. METHODS:In order to establish if cell fate plays a role even in end-stage disease we studied 16 lungs (9 smoking-associated and 7 alpha1antitrypsin (AAT)-deficiency emphysema) from patients who had undergone lung transplant...
