## Abstract Lung fibroblast proliferation and differentiation into myofibroblasts are pathological key events during development of lung fibrosis. Cyclic nucleotide signaling is described as a negative modulator of these cellular processes, and cyclic nucleotide degrading type 4 phosphodiesterases
## Abstract Transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) is crucially involved in the fibrotic events characterizing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), as well as in the airway remodeling process typical of asthma. Within such a context, the aim of our study was to investigate, in primary cultures of nor
