Myeloid-associated differentiation marker is a novel SP-A-associated transmembrane protein whose expression on airway epithelial cells correlates with asthma severity

Scientific Reports, 2021
Surfactant protein A (SP-A) is well-known for its protective role in pulmonary immunity. Previous studies from our group have shown that SP-A mediates eosinophil activities, including degranulation and apoptosis.

Reduced Local Response to Corticosteroids in Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Asthma

Biomolecules, 2020
Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS), a subgroup of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, is recognized as a refractory eosinophilic disorder characterized by both upper and lower airway inflammation.

Airway Resistance, Airway Conductance, Specific Airway Resistance, and Specific Airway Conductance in Children [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 1983
In 82 healthy children and in asthmatic children before and during positive allergen provocation test, airway resistance (Raw), airway conductance (Gaw), specific airway resistance (SRaw), and specific airway conductance (SGaw) were measured by body plethysmography during quiet breathing.

Detecting Alterations in Pulmonary Airway Development with Airway-by-Airway Comparison [PDF]

Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2011
Neonatal and postnatal exposures to air pollutants have adverse effects on lung development resulting in airway structure changes. Usually, generation-averaged analysis of airway geometric parameters is employed to differentiate between pulmonary airway trees.

Long‐term expanding human airway organoids for disease modeling

EMBO Journal, 2019
Organoids are self‐organizing 3D structures grown from stem cells that recapitulate essential aspects of organ structure and function. Here, we describe a method to establish long‐term‐expanding human airway organoids from broncho‐alveolar resections or ...

Type 2 inflammation modulates ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in airway epithelial cells

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2020
Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has dramatically changed our world, country, communities, and families. There is controversy regarding risk factors for severe COVID-19 disease. It has been suggested that asthma and

Synergistic Exacerbation of Allergic Inflammation by Combined Exposure to Air-Pollutants in a Murine Model of Allergic Rhinitis [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology
Objectives Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa triggered by environmental allergens. Although its pathophysiology has been extensively investigated, the influence of environmental aggravating factors—particularly combined
