In a recent preprint paper from Haberman et al. [40], single-cell data from nonfibrotic controls and pulmonary fibrosis samples, including IPF, chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, sarcoidosis and unclassifiable interstitial lung disease, were evaluated to identify four secretory cell phenotypes: SCGB1A1+MUC5B+MUC5AC+ cells; SCGB1A1+MUC5B+ cells; SCGB1A1+SCGB3A2+ cells and SCGB3A2+ only cells. This evidence concerns the gene SCGB3A2 and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
