Dr. Ling Sun attended the 2024 ATS Conference in San Diego, CA.
His poster presentation, “Epithelial Xbp1S Expression Leads to Distal Lung Muc5b Hyperproduction and Progression of Pulmonary Fibrosis Following Injury,” demonstrates that specific activation of UPR component XBP1S in distal respiratory epithelial cells leads to Muc5b hypersecretion and abnormal epithelial regeneration in response to injury and progresses to pulmonary fibrosis in mouse lungs.
