Characterization of Lung Inflammatory Response to Aspergillus fumigatus Spores
Journal 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,

Functions and Diseases of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 The retinal pigment epithelium is a fundamental component of the retina that plays essential roles in visual functions. Damage to the structure and function of the retinal pigment epithelium leads to a variety of retinopathies, and there is currently no ...

Cellular and functional heterogeneity of the airway epithelium
Mucosal Immunology, 2021 The airway epithelium protects us from environmental insults, which we encounter with every breath. Not only does it passively filter large particles, it also senses potential danger and alerts other cells, including immune and nervous cells.

Ca2+ Signaling by TRPV4 Channels in Respiratory Function and Disease
Cells, 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
Frontiers 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.

Evolution of cooperation in an epithelium [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2019 Cooperation is prevalent in nature, not only in the context of social interactions within the animal kingdom but also on the cellular level. In cancer, for example, tumour cells can cooperate by producing growth factors. The evolution of cooperation has traditionally been studied for well-mixed populations under the framework of evolutionary game ...
