ABSTRACT
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ( IPF) is a kind of Interstitial lung disease with cause unknown,which is aggressive for its increasing prevalence and high morbidity and mortality.At present the pathogenesis of IPF is not entirely clear, but cells and cel-lular interactions play a decisive role on the alveolar inflammation and fibrosis results.We review IPF related cells of interest ( immune competent cells and fibroblast, fibrocyte, myofibroblast, endothelial and alveolar epithelial cells) , to summarize cells and cellular in-teractions in the pathogenesis of IPF,and discuss new research directions and therapeutic targets.
