Multifaceted Roles of Ferroptosis in Lung Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Ferroptosis is a distinct type of programmed cell death (PCD) that depends on iron and is characterized by the accumulation of intracellular iron, exhaustion of glutathione, deactivation of glutathione peroxidase, and promotion of lipid peroxidation ...

Cigarette Smoke Affects Dendritic Cell Populations, Epithelial Barrier Function, and the Immune Response to Viral Infection With H1N1

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2020
Smokers with apparently “healthy” lungs suffer from more severe and frequent viral respiratory infections, but the mechanisms underlying this observation are still unclear.

Deep learning-based quantification of NAFLD/NASH progression in human liver biopsies

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects about 24% of the world's population. Progression of early stages of NAFLD can lead to the more advanced form non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and ultimately to cirrhosis or liver cancer.

Pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The current paradigm for the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is that chronic airflow limitation results from an abnormal inflammatory response to inhaled particles and gases in the lung. Airspace inflammation appears to be different

Acute Phase Proteins as Early Predictors for Immunotherapy Response in Advanced NSCLC: An Explorative Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
In the last decade, targeting the immune system became a promising therapy in advanced lung cancer stages. However, in a clinical follow-up, patient responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors widely differ.

The Multifaceted Effects of Alpha1-Antitrypsin on Neutrophil Functions

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Neutrophils are the predominant immune cells in human blood possessing heterogeneity, plasticity and functional diversity. The activation and recruitment of neutrophils into inflamed tissue in response to stimuli are tightly regulated processes.

Phenotypes of obstructive lung disease [PDF]

open access: yesThe Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2008
AbstractRecently, there has been much emphasis on the fact that there are many different phenotypes in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this review is to investigate some aspects of phenotyping in these two diseases.Epidemiological studies show a quite different risk factor pattern in allergic and non‐allergic asthma.
