## Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by myofibroblast accumulation, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and excessive collagen deposition. ECM‐producing myofibroblasts may originate from epithelial cells through epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). TGF‐β1 is an induc
## Abstract Epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important pro‐fibrotic event in which tubular epithelial cells are transformed into myofibroblasts. Nucleoside transporters (NT) are regulated by many factors and processes, some of which are involved in fibrosis, such as cytokines, infla
