Pirfenidone inhibits myofibroblast differentiation and lung fibrosis development during insufficient mitophagy

BACKGROUND: Pirfenidone (PFD) is an anti-fibrotic agent used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), but its precise mechanism of action remains elusive. Accumulation of profibrotic myofibroblasts is a crucial process for fibrotic remodeling in IPF. Recent findings show participation of autoph...
