The lungs contain numerous immune cells that maintain respiratory homeostasis. However, the immune system is not solely composed of immune cells but also interacts with non-immune cells such as AECs and neural cells. This section summarizes the subtypes of innate immune cells in the lung, along ...
The similar inconclusive rates between the “50 genes” and “>300 genes” groups (6.7% vs. 4.5%) suggest that blindly expanding the panel leads to diminishing marginal returns (Fig. 2B). However, the benefits of expanding sequencing coverage to resolve uncertainties, where the sequencing ...
Compliance work refers to the work of expanding the lung and the thorax, both of which are viscoelastic bodies. Resistance work refers to the work required in overcoming viscous dissipation in the flow of air through the lung airways. The structure of the bronchial tree dictates the flow ...
Chronic false aneurysm of the aortic isthmus is a well recognised entity and does not always require surgical treatment [2,4 ] providing the lesion is not expanding and not giving rise to compression effects on adjacent anatomical structures, as occurred in our patient. Features of calcification ...
Pulmonary overinflation is caused by excessive intrapulmonary pressure and over expansion of the lungs, which, in diving activities, results from the failure of expanding gases to exit the lungs. From: Bove and Davis' Diving Medicine (Fourth Edition), 2004 About this pageSet alert Also in subjec...
epithelial-mesenchymal transition and variations in CTC abundance among different tumor types. Microfluidic chips form the foundation of the immunosorbent assay, utilizing various sizes and structures to manipulate blood flow patterns, thereby expanding possibilities for CTC immunosorbent techniques and antibody...
Although p53 has been widely recognised as an important tumour suppressor, the exact mechanisms by which this transcription factor prevents tumour development is not fully understood. Initially, it was thought that the induction of apoptosis was the principal mechanism for tumour suppression by p53. Ho...
A total of 58 self-expanding endobronchial occluders were implanted into 23 lobes previously selected. No displacement was found during the follow-up. Five subjects experienced post-operative complications of cough, and 6 subjects had lobar pneumonia, which were not located in any of the blocked ...
Another challenge is that existing disease models do not fully recapitulate the pathological conditions observed in humans. For example, while bleomycin administration is the prevalent method for inducing lung fibrosis, they are significantly distinct from the fibrotic patterns and irreversibility seen in ...
