PAS staining of bronchoalveolar lavage cells for differential diagnosis of interstital lung disease [PDF]
Diagnostic Pathology, 2009 Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a useful diagnostic tool in interstitial lunge diseases (ILD). However, differential cell counts are often non specific and immunocytochemistry is time consuming.

Features of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy‐diagnosed fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis
The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 50-58, January 2023., 2023 This study describes the clinical and pathological features of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis diagnosed with transbronchial lung crybiopsy. Usual interstitial pneumonia was the most frequent pathological finding of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

CXC Chemokines in the Pathogenesis of Pulmonary Disease and Pharmacological Relevance
International Journal of Inflammation, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Chemokines and their receptors play important roles in the pathophysiology of many diseases by regulating the cellular migration of major inflammatory and immune players. The CXC motif chemokine subfamily is the second largest family, and it is further subdivided into ELR motif CXC (ELR+) and non‐ELR motif (ELR‐) CXC chemokines, which are effective ...
