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 ...

Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease of lung parenchymal scarring that is triggered by ...

In their second paper, "Durable alveolar engraftment of PSC-derived lung epithelial cells into immunocompetent mice," CReM researchers targeted the lung air sacks, known as alveoli. Kotton and his ...

the part of the study where the engineered lung mesenchymal cells are combined with lung epithelial cells in culture dishes (so called "recombinants") is particularly exciting as this resulted in ...

“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 ...

Soon after dialysis is initiated, peritoneal mesothelial cells undergo a transition from an epithelial phenotype ... or intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1). The gray lines represent ...

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 ...

it may be possible to reverse fibrosis and promote tissue repair through treatment with microgel-coated mesenchymal stromal cells. Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic disease caused by environmental ...

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 ...

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 ...
