Stat-6 signaling pathway and not Interleukin-1 mediates multi-walled carbon nanotube-induced lung fibrosis in mice: insights from an adverse outcome pathway framework [PDF]
Background The accumulation of MWCNTs in the lung environment leads to inflammation and the development of disease similar to pulmonary fibrosis in rodents.

Aggressive Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Setting of GATA2 Deficiency
ABSTRACT Background GATA2 deficiency is a rare genetic disorder associated with hematologic, infectious, and neoplastic complications. We report a case of a patient with GATA2 deficiency who developed aggressive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck, an atypical manifestation of this condition.

Niche signals and transcription factors involved in tissue-resident macrophage development [PDF]
Tissue-resident macrophages form an essential part of the first line of defense in all tissues of the body. Next to their immunological role, they play an important role in maintaining tissue homeostasis. Recently, it was shown that they are primarily of

Silicosis Mimicking Lung Malignancy: A Case Series
This case series describes three patients that were suspected to have a primary lung malignancy based on FDG‐PET findings, but were found to have pulmonary silicosis. With this series, we demonstrate how histologic examination can differentiate between silicosis and malignancy and provide suggestions to help clinicians differentiate between these two ...

CLINICAL APPLICABILITY OF PROPOSED ALGORITHM FOR IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUALS AT RISK FOR HEREDITARY HEMATOLOGIC MALIGNANCIES [PDF]
Over the past decade, more than 12 genes have been identified to cause hereditary predispositions to hematologic malignancies. These syndromes are characterized by an increased risk to develop myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML),

Telomere Shortening in Interstitial Lung Disease: Challenges and Promises
Telomerase abnormalities such as related gene mutations lead to decrease in telomerase activity and telomere shortening. Individual cells undergoing continuous division exhibit telomere shortening. A successive shortening of the telomere results in dysfunctional telomeres.

ABSTRACT Five male patients, including four siblings and one unrelated child, presented with progressive hoarseness, waxy eyelid papules, mucosal thickening, and skin plaques. Histopathologic analysis revealed PAS‐positive perivascular hyaline deposition, and genetic testing confirmed a homozygous ECM1 mutation in all patients, consistent with lipoid ...

Synovial tissue macrophages: friend or foe? [PDF]
Healthy synovial tissue includes a lining layer of synovial fibroblasts and macrophages. The influx of leucocytes during active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) includes monocytes that differentiate locally into proinflammatory macrophages, and these produce ...
