Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) signaling pathways and protective roles of melatonin
Inferred edges come from two machine sources: sweeps of open repository
metadata (mostly SSRN and Zenodo), and a bulk OpenAlex citation snapshot. Every row below is
labelled with the one it came from. Neither is a complete citation index — absence here is not
evidence of absence.
1 of the 200 references listed on this page is in the Retraction Watch database as retracted (export 2026-11-04): 10.1002/biof.1342 (notice 2024-08-08).
Dataset join, best-effort; this page does not check the publisher record.
