As an inherited disorder characterized by severe pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis could be considered a comorbidity for coronavirus disease 2019. Instead, current clinical evidence seems to be heading in the opposite direction. To clarify whether host factors expressed by the Cystic Fibrosis epithelia ...
Fibrosis was driven by proximal tubular cells, which transitioned to an injured mixed tubular (MT1) phenotype characterized by activated fibroblasts and myofibroblast markers, leading to the creation of provisional extracellular matrix. This, in turn, attracted inflammatory cells. Posted in Aurora ...
While the role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of CD is well-documented, the specific contribution of the intestinal epithelium is less clear. New evidence suggests that this tissue is not only the primary site of damage but may also play an active role in the initiation of the dis...
Grave’s disease: This is known to be an auto-immune disorder and is also considered to be one of the most known causes of hyperthyroidism. This medical condition is known to occur when the immune system starts to produce antibody that tend to stimulate the entire thyroid gland. This can ...
‘precise’ subcategories of disease, of which each might call for distinct therapies. The broad categories of cancer and cystic fibrosis are examples (Ashley,2016). Indeed, the precision approach has proven especially fruitful in oncology, for example, where pathology is often finely circumscribed ...
Marked as a respiratory condition involving attacks of spasm in the bronchi of the lungs, asthma is a respiratory disorder that causes difficulty in breathing. It is usually connected to allergic reaction or other forms of hypersensitivity. As there is no prescribed cure for asthma, the only way...
