Cepharanthine attenuates pulmonary fibrosis via modulating macrophage M2 polarization

This study demonstrated the potential and efficacy of CEP in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. In particular, this study revealed a novel mechanism of CEP in inhibiting fibroblast activation by regulating macrophage M2 polarization and reducing the expression of fibrosis-associated factors. Our findings open a new direction for future research into the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.
