Abstract Aging increases the risk of developing fibrotic diseases by hampering tissue regeneration after injury. Using longitudinal single-cell RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics, here we compare the transcriptome of bleomycin (BLM) -induced fibrotic lungs of young and aged male mice, at 3 time points corresponding to the peak of fibrosis, regeneration, and resolution. We find that lung injury shifts the transcriptomic profiles of three pulmonary capillary endothelial cells (PCEC) subpopulations.
