Crosstalk between senescent and immune cells in fibrosing interstitial lung diseases. The biological disturbances in senescent cells enable them to engage in complex communication with the host immune system. Various immune cell populations actively participate in the surveillance and regulation of these senescent cells, highlighting the intricate interplay between cellular senescence and immune responses in pulmonary fibrosis. NK: Natural Killer; NKG2: natural killer group 2; MICA: MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence; HLA-E: Major Histocompatibility Complex; Class I, E, CALR: Calreticulin; CD47: Cluster of Differentiation 47; CD24: Cluster of Differentiation 24.
