Eosinophil and T Cell Markers Predict Functional Decline in COPD Patients [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND. The major marker utilized to monitor COPD patients is forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). However, asingle measurement of FEV1 cannot reliably predict subsequent decline.

Establishing a 3D Vascularized Tri‐Culture Model of the Human Airways via a Digital Light Processing Bioprinter

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rise in chronic lung diseases globally and the corresponding lag in drug discovery in this field highlights the need for In Vitro models closely mimicking In Vivo lung tissue. Efforts to date have largely focused on In Vitro coculture models, often neglecting the pulmonary vasculature's role in lung physiology and lacking perfusability. To
