From the authors: “In summary, our study revealed age-associated differences in the lung [extracellular matrix] from histologically normal lungs from patients with normal lung function and no history of chronic lung disease.”

This study is highlighted as one of June’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society's APSselect program.
