Environmental pollutants damage airway epithelial cell cilia: Implications for the prevention of obstructive lung diseases

Thoracic Cancer, 2020
Mucociliary epithelium lining the upper and lower respiratory tract constitutes the first line of defense of the airway and lungs against inhaled pollutants and pathogens.

Current concepts on the role of inflammation in COPD and lung cancer [PDF]

, 2009
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer are leading cause of death, and both are associated with cigarette smoke exposure. It has been shown that 50–70% of patients diagnosed with lung cancer suffer from COPD, and reduced lung ...

Exosomal Long Non-Coding RNAs in Lung Diseases

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Within the non-coding genome landscape, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their secretion within exosomes are a window that could further explain the regulation, the sustaining, and the spread of lung diseases.

Agricultural lung diseases. [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2000
Agriculture is considered one of the most hazardous occupations. Organic dusts and toxic gases constitute some of the most common and potentially disabling occupational and environmental hazards. The changing patterns of agriculture have paradoxically contributed to both improved working conditions and increased exposure to respiratory hazards.

Parasitic lung diseases

European Respiratory Review, 2022
Parasitic lung diseases are caused by a number of parasites as a result of transient passage in the lung or as a result of an immunologic reaction. The clinical presentation may be in the form of focal or cystic lesions, pleural effusion or diffuse pulmonary infiltrates. With increasing globalisation, it is important to consider parasitic infections in

Lung Cancer in Pulmonary Fibrosis: Tales of Epithelial Cell Plasticity [PDF]

, 2011
Lung epithelial cells exhibit a high degree of plasticity. Alterations to lung epithelial cell function are critically involved in several chronic lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis.

Claudins in lung diseases [PDF]

Respiratory Research, 2011
Tight junctions are the most apically localized part of the epithelial junctional complex. They regulate the permeability and polarity of cell layers and create compartments in cell membranes. Claudins are structural molecules of tight junctions.

Presentation, diagnosis and clinical course of the spectrum of progressive-fibrosing interstitial lung diseases

European Respiratory Review, 2018
Although these conditions are rare, a proportion of patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) may develop a progressive-fibrosing phenotype. Progressive fibrosis is associated with worsening respiratory symptoms, lung function decline, limited ...

Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria in Respiratory Specimens of Patients with Obstructive Lung Diseases—Colonization or Disease?

Antibiotics, 2020
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly a cause of human respiratory tract colonization and mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD), especially in patients with chronic lung diseases.
