BackgroundOlder age is the main risk factor for chronic lung diseases including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Halting or reversing progression of IPF remains an unmet clinical need due to limited knowledge of underlying mechanisms. The lung circulatory system, composed of blood (pulmonary and bronchial) and lymphatic vessels networks, has been implicated in IPF pathophysiology in elderly people, based solely on reports of altered density and increased permeability of vessels.
