TGF‐β triggers a swift rise in adenosine 5'‐monophosphate‐activated protein kinase (AMPK)‐related protein kinase 1 (NUAK1) in fibroblasts, fostering profibrotic YAP and TGF‐β/SMAD signaling pathways, ultimately culminating in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [98]. This evidence concerns the gene TGFB1 and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
