The mammalian circulatory system comprises both the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system. In contrast to the blood vascular circulation, the lymphatic system forms a unidirectional transit ...

Glucan-mediated trained immunity activates alveolar macrophages which exacerbates acute lung injury induced by LPS.

Laser die transfer technique provides an efficient solution for fast transportation of microchips in microassembly. Capillary self-alignment is able to achieve parallel and high-accuracy alignment of ...

Micro-glass capillaries have emerged as a crucial tool for lossless guiding and focusing of ion beams [1–4]. The key mechanism for ion beam guiding and self-focusing relies on the distributions of ...

UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells—complete with their own functioning blood vessel ...

A basic review of the anatomy, physiology and personal protective equipment related to the respiratory system.

Advanced lab-grown tissues help show how special lung cells develop, shedding light on rare ACDMPV disease and suggesting ...

All diseases exist on a continuum, and the damage often begins early—sometimes as soon as a child is weaned off breast milk ...

Objective Vaping may increase the cytotoxic effects of e-cigarette liquid (ECL). We compared the effect of unvaped ECL to e-cigarette vapour condensate (ECVC) on alveolar macrophage (AM) function.

In ACD, histological findings include reduction in alveolar capillaries, thickening of alveolar septal tissue, and lack of sufficient endothelial-epithelial contact. A few familial cases suggest a ...

Damage to the alveolar capillary endothelium is a well-established cause of the influx of protein-rich fluid into the alveolar compartment. [4, 6] However, the epithelium is also critical in ...

Results: Intravenous salbutamol reduced measures of alveolar–capillary permeability in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In vitro, salbutamol stimulated both wound repair, and ...
