Similarly, in TGF-β-enriched environments, such as fibroblastic foci (FF) from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, FRMD6 co-localized with p16 in FF lining cells, while it was rarely detected in α-SMA-positive myofibroblasts that are abundant in FF. The gene discussed is FRMD6; the disease is pulmonary fibrosis.
