Proteasome dysfunction in alveolar type 2 epithelial cells is associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome

Abstract Proteasomes are a critical component of quality control that regulate turnover of short-lived, unfolded, and misfolded proteins. Proteasome activity has been therapeutically targeted and considered as a treatment option for several chronic lung disorders including pulmonary fibrosis. Althou...
