Nitric Oxide System and Bronchial Epithelium: More Than a Barrier
Airway epithelium forms a physical barrier that protects the lung from the entrance of inhaled allergens, irritants, or microorganisms. This epithelial structure is maintained by tight junctions, adherens junctions and desmosomes that prevent the ...

Retrospective investigation on the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in dogs with bronchial and upper respiratory diseases [PDF]
Bronchial and upper respiratory diseases have been associated with hypoxia and subsequent development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). However, there are no known studies assessing the prevalence of PAH in dogs with these conditions.

Bronchoscopic video synchronization for interactive multimodal inspection of bronchial lesions [PDF]
With lung cancer being the most fatal cancer worldwide, it is important to detect the disease early. A potentially effective way of detecting early cancer lesions developing along the airway walls (epithelium) is bronchoscopy. To this end, developments in bronchoscopy offer three promising noninvasive modalities for imaging bronchial lesions: white ...

ESFPNet: efficient deep learning architecture for real-time lesion segmentation in autofluorescence bronchoscopic video [PDF]
Lung cancer tends to be detected at an advanced stage, resulting in a high patient mortality rate. Thus, much recent research has focused on early disease detection Bronchoscopy is the procedure of choice for an effective noninvasive way of detecting early manifestations (bronchial lesions) of lung cancer.
