Identification of core genes in the extracellular matrix and the regulatory mechanisms of the immune microenvironment in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis using WGCNA and machine learning methods
Introduction: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and irreversible lung disease characterized by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). This research, published in PLOS ONE, aimed to identify genes associated with the ECM in IPF and explore their relationship with immune infiltration, with the ultimate goal of discovering novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets…
