The respiratory system is the target organ of many autoimmune rheumatic diseases. In some of these, serositis is a common manifestation (rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus), while in other interstitial lung disease predominates (scleroderma) (Hunninghake and Fauci 1979). Manifestations ...
Tissues are a group of cells with similar structure and specific functions. There are different types of Tissues both in plants and animals, which are classified based on the number of cells, shape and type of cells.

[162]. Interestingly, HCMV pneumonitis is observed at higher rates in neonates who acquire the infection perinatally rather than congenitally probably due to virus inhalation and direct spread to the respiratory system, which cannot occur during infection in utero [76]. In the respiratory tract of...

As expected, several therapeutic areas show a similar enrich- ment for targets expressed in specific tissues, especially cardiovascular system, nervous system, and metabolic diseases. The exception here are diseases of cellular proliferation (i.e. cancers), which are enriched for targets span- ning ...
