Fibromine is a multi-omics database and mining tool for target discovery in pulmonary fibrosis

Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a lethal lung fibroproliferative disease with limited therapeutic options. Differential expression profiling of affected sites has been instrumental for involved pathogenetic mechanisms dissection and therapeutic targets discovery. However, there have been l...
