Researchers identify protein sensor that plays a role in lung fibrosis

Researchers have discovered a protein called SEL1L that plays a critical role in clearing collagen from tissue, and which may be a therapeutic target to help prevent fibrosis, scar tissue that interferes with organ function. The paper provides clues that could lead to drug development for diseases like lung fibrosis which have no therapeutic options …
