Title
Functional Wnt signaling is increased in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Year

Function
"Next, we analyzed the expression of the well-characterized Wnt target genes fibronectin (Fn) 1, matrix metalloproteinase (Mmp) 7, and cyclin D1 in IPF lungs. As depicted in Figure 7b, all of these Wnt target genes were upregulated in IPF lung samples, as compared with transplant donor samples."
