Endowing Flexibility of Alveolar Type II Cells to Recapitulate Development From Lung Bud to Alveoli
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Adult human alveolar type 2 cells are chemically reprogrammed into expandable alveolar progenitor‐like cells that acquire bud tip‐like features during expansion and form organoids that mature into alveolar‐like structures. These organoids model influenza A virus infection and innate immune responses in vitro, while transplanted cells engraft ...

3D Electrical Impedance Tomography of Regional Ventilation During Jet Ventilation: A Pilot Study
Laryngoscope Investigative OtolaryngologyObjectives Low‐frequency jet ventilation (LFJV) is commonly used in laryngotracheal surgery when intubation is not feasible. However, limited understanding of regional ventilation and distal airway pressures raises safety concerns and restricts broader ...

Effect of acute and chronic pressure-threshold inspiratory muscle training on upper and lower airway function [PDF]
, 2010 This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.There is evidence to suggest that inspiratory muscle training (IMT) may influence the functional properties of the muscles of the upper (UA) and lower (LA ...

Thermally Drawn Bioelectric Catheters: Enabling Proprioceptive Endovascular Navigation
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work introduces a novel bioelectric navigation system eliminates the need for harmful fluoroscopy during endovascular surgeries. A bespoke 16‐electrode catheter is fabricated using rapid thermal drawing and laser micro‐machining. Paired with a real‐time tracking algorithm fusing vascular geometry detection and distance estimation, this technology ...
