Angiogenesis in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [PDF]

, 2012
Angiogenesis is a crucial component of lung pathophysiology, not only in cancer but also in other disorders, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Current concepts on oxidative/carbonyl stress, inflammation and epigenetics in pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

, 2011
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global health problem. The current therapies for COPD are poorly effective and the mainstays of pharmacotherapy are bronchodilators.

The lancet commission obesity categories, excess adiposity, and BMI discordance in urban Chinese adults: a cross-sectional survey in Beijing

Frontiers in Nutrition
IntroductionBMI remains central to obesity surveillance, but it does not distinguish excess adiposity from obesity-related disease. The Lancet Commission framework first confirms excess adiposity and then classifies individuals as having no obesity ...

Post-surgical adhesions are triggered by calcium-dependent membrane bridges between mesothelial surfaces

Nature Communications, 2020
Surgical adhesions are organ-joining bands of scar tissue that remain clinically untreatable. Here, the authors show that adhesions are formed through expansive mesothelial membrane bridges, and that blocking these with small molecules prevents formation

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Mechanisms of Lung Injury in a Mouse Model of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia [PDF]

, 2009
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that affects preterm infants. Increased levels of inflammatory mediators in the amniotic fluid and in the lungs of preterm infants are associated with the development of BPD.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Modeling the survival of patients with tuberculosis based on the model of artificial neural networks [PDF]

Health Science Monitor, 2022
Background & Aims:  The development of treatment methods and increasing the survival of patients with tuberculosis (TB) has led to the complication of relationships between independent and dependent variables associated with this disease.

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Interleukin-6 and airflow limitation in chemical warfare patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

Objectives: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the main late complications of sulfur mustard poisoning. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum levels of interleukin (IL)-6 in war veterans with pulmonary complications of sulfur ...
