Identification of Potential Pathogenic Super-Enhancers-Driven Genes in Pulmonary Fibrosis

Abnormal fibroblast differentiation into myofibroblast is a crucial pathological mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Super-enhancers, a newly discovered cluster of regulatory elements, are regarded as the regulators of cell identity. We speculate that abnormal activation of super-enhancers must be involved in the pathological process of PF. This study aims to identify potential pathogenic super-enhancer-driven genes in PF. Differentially...
