Increased activated regulatory T cells proportion correlate with the severity of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Abstract Background Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are crucial in maintaining immune tolerance and immune homeostasis, but their role in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is unclear. This study was designed to explore the role of Tregs in IPF. Methods Percentages of Tregs and their subpopulations in p...
