High-Expressed Macrophage Scavenger Receptor 1 Predicts Severity Clinical Outcome in Transplant Patient in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Disease.

Our study indicates the clinical significance of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection-related MSR1-positive cells in IPF progression, and it could be a prognostic marker in IPF after the lung transplant; development strategies to reduce the expression of MSR1-positive macrophages in IPF may be beneficial for the lung transplant.
