Reversal of emphysema by restoration of pulmonary endothelial cells
We tested the role of endothelial dysfunction in the development of COPD/emphysema. We found that restoration of lung endothelial cells and blockade of endothelial-derived leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein perturbs the pathogenesis of COPD/emphysema.

Pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema in COVID-19: barotrauma or lung frailty?
Background In mechanically ventilated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients infected with the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we frequently recognised the development of pneumomediastinum and/or subcutaneous emphysema despite ...

Emphysema affects 3.1 million people in the United States alone and causes severe disability and early death in up to 45% of patients.1 Emphysematous destruction of the lung is associated with decreased elastic recoil pressure. As a result, the diseased lung requires less pressure than a normal lung to inflate and, once inflated, exerts less pressure ...
