Multifaceted Roles of Ferroptosis in Lung Diseases
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 ...

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

Elastocapillary network model of inhalation [PDF]
The seemingly simple process of inhalation relies on a complex interplay between muscular contraction in the thorax, elasto-capillary interactions in individual lung branches, propagation of air between different connected branches, and overall air flow into the lungs.

Systematic Review of Exposure to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Obstructive Lung Disease [PDF]
Background. There is fast-growing epidemiologic evidence of the effects of environmental chemicals on respiratory health. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been linked with airway obstruction common in asthma and/or asthma exacerbation, and ...

The Multifaceted Effects of Alpha1-Antitrypsin on Neutrophil Functions
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.

Estimating Total Lung Volume from Pixel-level Thickness Maps of Chest Radiographs Using Deep Learning [PDF]
Purpose: To estimate the total lung volume (TLV) from real and synthetic frontal chest radiographs (CXR) on a pixel level using lung thickness maps generated by a U-Net deep learning model. Methods: This retrospective study included 5,959 chest CT scans from two public datasets: the lung nodule analysis 2016 (n=656) and the Radiological Society of ...
