However, little is known about how ICAM-1 is up-regulated in human airway epithelial cells. In this study, we show that tumor TNF-α induces monocyte adhesion to A549 human lung airway epithelium ...

1,2 The outcome of an acute lower respiratory tract infection depends on the virulence of the organism and the inflammatory response in the lung ... and epithelial cells. Many plasma proteins ...

In a Scientific Reports study, University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers show how a low dose of cadmium produces a deleterious stress in lung epithelial cells, and their findings highlight ...

The lung provides an extensive surface area mediating gas exchange between epithelial cells and the capillaries in the alveolus. Since lung cells are in direct contact with environmental gases and ...

“Epithelial cells in the lung are typically envisioned as supporting respiratory functions, while MHC-II is understood to connect immune cells to immune cells, so the finding that MHC-II on lung ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have uncovered a key molecular player that is ...

This new mechanism had been missed in the past because it facilitates bacterial adherence only to dead or dying lung epithelial cells, not to living cells. Heretofore, researchers typically used ...

A drug prototype known as NZ-97 showed promise for treating pulmonary disease by stimulating ... as potential agents for expanding type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (AEC2s) represents a promising ...

and the expression of a chloride channel gene called ANO1 in lung tissue samples and airway epithelial cells. ANO1 helps produce mucus in the airway; but overproduction of mucus in chronic lung ...
