The abnormal accumulation of extravascular fluid, pulmonary edema settles in the lung interstitium and alveoli. There, it ...

SEM showed capillaries filled with platelet aggregates. Our study suggests that platelets may aggregate in the lungs during acute PH decompensation. We hypothesised that thrombocytopenia in patients ...

The alveoli are small air sacs in the lungs. A network of capillaries connects the alveoli to the bloodstream, creating the alveolar-capillary membrane, where the exchange of gases takes place.

Similarly, CO 2 moves the other way because the concentration of carbon dioxide is lower in the alveoli than it is in the capillaries. Alveoli also have immune cells in them (alveolar macrophages).

However, the role of YPF in alveolar-capillary barrier dysfunction remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the effect and potential mechanism of YPF on alveolar-capillary barrier injury induced ...

② SARS-CoV-2 released from type II alveolar cells infects alveolar capillary endothelial cells (ECs). The virus replicates in ECs and is released into the blood to form viremia. ③ SARS-CoV-2 is ...
