Viruses are the fastest-evolving biological entity on Earth. This fact explains why we need flu shots every year: Seasonal ...
Savara Inc. (Nasdaq: SVRA) (the Company), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on rare respiratory diseases, reported financial results for the third ...
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is caused by a buildup in the lungs’ alveoli of a substance called surfactant that’s made up of proteins and lipids. The buildup can block air from moving ...
In a healthy lung, excess surfactant is cleared and digested by immune cells called alveolar macrophages. Alveolar macrophages need to be stimulated by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating ...
Hence, disturbances in endocytosis and trafficking across and within alveolar epithelial and endothelial cells are important drivers of alveolar-capillary barrier dysfunction during respiratory ...
The pathophysiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome is divided into eight categories: alveolar fluid transport, surfactant, innate immunity, apoptosis, coagulation, direct alveolar ...
The work will be of high interest to both researchers in the trained immunity field and clinician scientists. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) reside in the lower airways and play a crucial role in lung ...
Alveolar macrophages (AMs) reside in the lower airways and play a crucial role in lung health and response to sterile inflammation and infections. AMs possess remarkable adaptability to different ...
In a healthy lung, excess surfactant is cleared and digested by immune cells called alveolar macrophages. Alveolar macrophages need to be stimulated by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating ...
Future studies of the effect of exogenous surfactant in children and adults ... the determination of differences between the degree of alveolar epithelial injury, inflammatory and innate immune ...
and the retrograde stimulation of alveolar type II cell surfactant phospholipid and protein synthesis by leptin. Each of these paracrine interactions requires cell-specific receptors on adjacent ...
