Characterization of Lung Inflammatory Response to Aspergillus fumigatus Spores

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2023
The airway exposure to Aspergillus fumigatus spores (AFsp) is associated with an inflammatory response, potentially leading to allergic and/or chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. The aim of our study is to better understand the host response, first in vitro,

IRE1 phosphatase PP2Ce regulates adaptive ER stress response in the postpartum mammary gland. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We recently reported that the PPM1l gene encodes an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane targeted protein phosphatase (named PP2Ce) with highly specific activity towards Inositol-requiring protein-1 (IRE1) and regulates the functional outcome of ER stress.

Genitourinary Tissue Engineering: Reconstruction and Research Models

open access: yesBioengineering, 2021
Tissue engineering is an emerging field of research that initially aimed to produce 3D tissues to bypass the lack of adequate tissues for the repair or replacement of deficient organs.

Ca2+ Signaling by TRPV4 Channels in Respiratory Function and Disease

open access: yesCells, 2021
Members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily are broadly expressed in our body and contribute to multiple cellular functions. Most interestingly, the fourth member of the vanilloid family of TRP channels (TRPV4) serves different ...

Irradiation Induces Epithelial Cell Unjamming

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
The healthy and mature epithelial layer is ordinarily quiescent, non-migratory, solid-like, and jammed. However, in a variety of circumstances the layer transitions to a phase that is dynamic, migratory, fluid-like and unjammed.

Antimicrobial peptides: Defending the mucosal epithelial barrier

open access: yesFrontiers in Oral Health, 2022
The recent epidemic caused by aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 virus illustrates the importance and vulnerability of the mucosal epithelial barrier against infection.

Vectorial Release of Human RNA Viruses from Epithelial Cells

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Epithelial cells are apico-basolateral polarized cells that line all tubular organs and are often targets for infectious agents. This review focuses on the release of human RNA virus particles from both sides of polarized human cells grown on transwells.

Psychological stress disrupts intestinal epithelial cell function and mucosal integrity through microbe and host-directed processes

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2022
Psychological stress alters the gut microbiota and predisposes individuals to increased risk for enteric infections and chronic bowel conditions. Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are responsible for maintaining homeostatic interactions between the gut ...

A Tissue-Engineered Tracheobronchial In Vitro Co-Culture Model for Determining Epithelial Toxicological and Inflammatory Responses

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2021
Translation of novel inhalable therapies for respiratory diseases is hampered due to the lack of in vitro cell models that reflect the complexity of native tissue, resulting in many novel drugs and formulations failing to progress beyond preclinical ...

Modeling Notch-Induced Tumor Cell Survival in the Drosophila Ovary Identifies Cellular and Transcriptional Response to Nuclear NICD Accumulation

open access: yesCells, 2021
Notch is a conserved developmental signaling pathway that is dysregulated in many cancer types, most often through constitutive activation. Tumor cells with nuclear accumulation of the active Notch receptor, NICD, generally exhibit enhanced survival ...
