Newly designed molecule could help treat deadly lung condition

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a deadly condition. The only available therapies can slow disease progression, but they are not a cure and often cause intolerable side effects.

Endowed Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary) at Yale School of Medicine.
