Held at Liberty State Park, the PFF Walk - NYC Metro offers two course options – 1-mile or 5K – along a stunning waterfront pathway with views of Lady Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Manhattan skyline. Register now at https://t.co/7b01P8V8AP!
An international research team has found new fibrosis-forming pathways that support further research into saracatinib as a possible IPF treatment. https://t.co/26K6EYh2IZ
Raising awareness of rare diseases, and advocating for research, treatment, and care, can help ensure that no one gets left behind. #RareDiseaseDay https://t.co/p9iZFB2thp
Today is #RareDiseaseDay
Help advocate for more equitable access to diagnosis, treatment, and support for PF patients.
People with a rare disease like pulmonary fibrosis need equitable access to healthcare.

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham offer hope to those with #IPF acute exacerbation through a potentially life-saving treatment approach. https://t.co/6dXfnXig2g
"The researchers concluded that presumed Agent Orange exposure was related to greater IPF risk. They say further research is needed to validate this relationship and learn what’s causing it." https://t.co/NoxwaBTRAl
A large group of Vietnam veterans with presumed exposure to Agent Orange showed an increased risk of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, according to a recent study. https://t.co/NoxwaBTRAl

PFF has co-founded an industry-wide effort to identify new blood biomarkers specific to IPF with the goal of predicting which patients would benefit most from certain medications. https://t.co/CWjZADcY0P
Having direction for dealing with the psychological impact of a serious illness is invaluable. In a webinar, the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation offered “A Roadmap for Coping.”https://t.co/tnbcMNaAfn
People living with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis often have other simultaneous conditions, or comorbidities, that worsen IPF’s negative impacts on life span, quality of life, and economic cost. #PFMonth https://t.co/wrJT1TaWeZ
People may be more likely to be diagnosed with #PulmonaryFibrosis if they fall into any of these risk categories: https://t.co/QoSjY2ixEx
➡️Past or present smoker
➡️Family history of ILD
➡️60 years of age or older
Stem cell therapy faces many challenges, but holds promise for regenerative medicine, testing new drugs, and ultimately finding a cure for PF. #PFMonth https://t.co/1nQpARoG9B
