Duke-NUS scientists identify 2 proteins that contribute to lung scarring
Scarring of the lungs that makes it hard to breathe - Duke-NUS researchers say this condition, known as pulmonary fibrosis, is on the rise as the population ages. They have also found that blocking two proteins could reduce scarring. Associate Professor Manvendra Kumar Singh from the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disorders Programme at the Duke-NUS Medical School discusses the condition of pulmonary fibrosis and how it affects the quality of life. He talks about his team's study findings and how significant this will be in curing or preventing the disease.
