Check out our exciting paper by @asmafarhat.bsky.social in @scienceimmuno.bsky.social.
In a nutshell: in lung fibrosis, the age of the bone marrow matters more than the age of lung tissue.

Thanks to co-lead @miershawig.bsky.social and all collaborators :)

1/ Excited to share my first-ever first-author paper out now in Science Immunology! from @knapplab.bsky.social and co-supervised by @miershawig.bsky.social
We show that hematopoietic aging, independent of lung tissue aging, is sufficient to exacerbate fibrosis.

An aging bone marrow exacerbates lung fibrosis by fueling profibrotic macrophage persistence
Hematopoietic aging drives lung fibrosis and profibrotic macrophage influx, stalling their maturation via reduced Treg-derived IL-10.
