But several strands of evidence are calling this approach into question. The pulmonary epithelium not only provides a barrier between the outside environment and internal parenchyma but also ...

In animal models, inhibition of neutrophil chemokines or disruption of these chemokine gradients in the lung attenuates ALI. Molecules associated with enhanced wound closure, such as epithelial ...

A better understanding of inflammation and lung immunity over the past two decades has led to new, innovative treatments for ...

Individuals with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were more vulnerable than healthy controls to ...

A discovery at Duke-NUS Medical School offers new hope in the battle against pulmonary fibrosis, a debilitating lung ...

My research has been focused on lung epithelial cell biology since I undertook a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Washington University in St Louis between 1991 and 1993. During that time I became ...

It simulated the real-life exposure of the apical pulmonary epithelium, the outermost layer of cells lining respiratory passages within the lungs. Existing animal research data has shown that a type ...

Ingber’s team only had access to patient lung epithelial cells, so they built a chimeric CF airway chip in which mutant airway cells interact with healthy vascular tissues and immune cells. “We're ...

Although the pulmonary epithelium, the carpet of cells that forms the inner surface of the lungs, is recognized ... Sensitivity to common food allergens such as dairy and peanuts could be an ...
