Resolution of Pulmonary Fibrosis

Presentation

Chronic pulmonary inflammation due to airborne pollutants leading to fibrosis with progressive loss of lung function is a major therapeutic challenge. Multiple mechanisms are involved, including airway cell death activating myeloid, innate and adaptive lymphoid cells with the release of inflammatory and pro-fibrotic mediators, fibroblast activation and proliferation with excessive collagen production.
    
Resolution of fibrotic pulmonary diseases is the focus of the present conference. Novel approaches using patient samples and experimental models, as well as the role of altered microbiota and metabolites, will be debated.

The commonly used experimental bleomycin-induced fibrosis model for IPF may provide insights into fibrosis resolution, unlike clinical IPF. Contributions on the polarization of myeloid cells, inhibition of fibroblasts, removal of fibrotic tissue or regeneration of alveolar epithelial cells by inhibitors and cell therapy are attractive. Therapies targeting specific molecular pathways enhancing fibrosis resolution is a major challenge for investigation.
 

This international conference is organised in the framework of the BIOPHARMACEUTICALS ARD CVL Programme.

Hôtel Dupanloup : 1, rue Dupanloup - 45000 ORLEANS - FR

The conference venue is unique. Located right next to the Orléans’ cathedral, the episcopal palace of Orléans, built between 1635 and 1641, locally known as the Hôtel Dupanloup, is a classical French building which served until 1905 of residence to the bishops of Orléans.  Since 2014, the renewed palace hosts the International University Center for Research and Le Studium Loire Valley Institute for Advanced Studies.

Participants will be welcomed in this exceptional surrounding, blending Middle Age and Renaissance cultures with modern design and will have the opportunity to discover French cuisine and wines.
