A novel genomic signature with translational significance for human idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Year

Function
"Cthrc1 is expressed by fibroblasts, is involved in vascular remodeling, and decreases collagen matrix deposition . Cthrc1 is a downstream target of bone morphogenic protein-SMAD signaling, inhibits TGF-beta expression in neointimal lesion formation, and acts as a Wnt cofactor, possibly contributing to the promotion of cell motility.
