How can you use “ipf” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The other 2 subjects had biopsy-proven IPF.
Fibroblasts from the lungs of seven patients (6 males) with IPF (HF-IPF) were harvested: a) from excised lung at the time of lung transplantation; b) during an autopsy performed within 4 hours from death; or c) during open or transbronchial lung biopsies at the time of diagnosis.
Although the reasons for our different results are unclear, the fact that we found similar COX-2 expression and PGE 2 production in normal and IPF lung fibroblasts suggests that loss of COX-2 expression is not a universal characteristic of fibroblasts cultured from the lungs of subjects with IPF.
Recent reports suggesting decreased COX-2 expression and PGE 2 production in IPF fibroblasts have received significant attention [ 12 20 21 ] . In our study we found that both COX-2 protein expression and PGE 2 production were upregulated to a similar degree in IPF and normal lung fibroblasts.
We have found that fibroblasts cultured from normal and IPF human lungs have a significant and similar induction of the COX-2 enzyme when stimulated with IL-1β, but that IPF fibroblasts produced more thromboxane and had a significantly lower prostacyclin:thromboxane ratio.
