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 therapy using a patient's own proximal basal stem cells shows promise to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

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 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.

Prof. Sabine Costagliola «Our next Frontiers in Biomedicine seminar will be given by Dr. Sabine Costagliola. For a long time, her lab has focused on the role of the ...

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 ...
