Epigenetics dysfunction in morbid obesity with or without obstructive sleep apnoea: the EPIMOOSA study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Idiopathic and toxic pulmonary fibrosis are severe diseases starting classically in the subpleural area of the lung. It has recently been suggested that pleural mesothelial cells acquire a myofibroblast phenotype under fibrotic conditions induced by TGF-β1 or bleomycin. The importance and role of inflammatio...
