Abstract:
Pulmonary fibrosis can severely disrupt lung functions, but its etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. Animal models of lung fibrosis play an important role in investigation of the mechanism by which pulmonary fibrosis develops. This review summarizes the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of widely used and newly established animal models of lung fibrosis.
