Homeostasis of Gut Microbiota Protects against Susceptibility to Fungal Pneumonia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fungal pneumonia induces inflammation, shown by heightened IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α levels and a growth in Staphylococcus in the alveolar flora. The gut microbiota, acting through the gut‐lung axis via blood, impacts fungal pneumonia susceptibility by altering lung metabolism and inflammatory responses.

Coactosin‐Like Protein Reduces Prostaglandin D2 Production in Alveolar Macrophages and Alleviates Allergic Airway Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Coactosin‐like protein inhibits prostaglandin D₂ (PGD2) secretion by modulating alveolar macrophage polarization, thereby suppressing activation of the PGD2 receptor CRTH2 in Th2‐associated immune cells and alleviating allergic airway inflammation.

Post‐Translational Modified Neoantigens in Autoimmune Diseases: Challenges of Immune Tolerance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Autoimmune diseases have a high incidence and disability rate. The pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases involves the interaction among genetic factors, environmental factors, and immune disorders. The post‐translational modified neoantigens are the key nodal of these three factors. And these post‐translational modified neoantigens, after being presented

Multiplex protein profiling of bronchoalveolar lavage in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and hypersensitivity pneumonitis

Annals of Thoracic Medicine, 2013
CONTEXT: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) are diffuse parenchymal lung diseases characterized by a mixture of inflammation and fibrosis, leading to lung destruction and finally death. AIMS: The aim of this

Mercaptophenylboronic Acid‐Mediated Nanozyme Immunochromatographic Assay for Simultaneous Detection of Respiratory Bacteria and Virus

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developes a universal colorimetric ICA platform that integrates broad‐spectrum recognition by 4‐mercaptophenylboronic acid with dual signal enhancement—both colorimetric and catalytic—mediated by a biomimetic magnetic nanozyme. This platform, for the first time, enables simple, convenient, ultrasensitive, and simultaneous screening of ...

Diagnostic value of bronchoalveolar lavage in the subset of patients with negative sputum/smear and mycobacterial culture and a suspicion of pulmonary tuberculosis

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background: The diagnostic value of bronchoalveolar lavage in patients with negative sputum/smear for tuberculous bacilli has been well studied. However, its value in the subset of patients with both negative sputum/smear and culture is seldom reported ...

tRF‐5004b Enriched Secretory Autophagosomes Induce Endothelial Cell Activation to Drive Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung condition with limited treatments, often triggered by overactive endothelial cells (ECs). It is identified that macrophage‐derived secretory autophagosomes (MSAPs) exacerbate lung damage by activating EC function.

Cellular Adaptation to Mechanical Stress Emerges via Cell Shrinkage Triggered by Nonlinear Calcium Elevation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, a decision‐making mechanism underlying mechanical adaptation is demonstrated. This study demonstrates that cellular adaptation to mechanical stress can be induced by applying low‐amplitude stretch to cells. When the stretch reaches a critical amplitude threshold, it triggers Ca2⁺‐dependent positive feedback, which induces cholesterol efflux and ...
