Abstract
The article explores vascular changes in nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), a lung disease. It reveals a significant replacement of normal lung capillaries with COL15A1-positive endothelial cells in NSIP patients, potentially affecting gas exchange and lung permeability. It further underscores the need for further research on the role of COL15A1 in lung fibrosis and its implications for fibrotic lung diseases.
