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 ...

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 ...

Poland: A recent simulation study published in Scientific Reports revealed that individuals with asthma and chronic ...

In a new role for an ion transporter, Na +-K +-Cl − cotransporter-1 may regulate the lung endothelial and epithelial barriers and consequently modulate the host response to pneumonia and sepsis.

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 ...
