CEMIP is strongly expressed by a number of fibroblast subpopulations in various organs and diseases, with the highest CEMIP expression being observed in activated fibroblasts from inflammatory diseases such as Crohn’s disease, osteoarthritis, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which regulates fibroblast proliferation and migration [46,90,139]. Here, CEMIP is linked to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
