Immortalization of Human Adult Alveolar Epithelial Cells to Study Environmental Exposures of the Distal Lung

Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Alveolar epithelial cell type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) cells make up the saccular gas exchange units of the lung, called alveoli. Formation of alveoli during lung development accounts for the expansive surface area of the lung, allowing for proper respiration and delivery of oxygen to the body.

Enhanced Bioactivity of Puerariae Radix‐ Hovenia Seed Extracts Through Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Co‐Fermentation: Impact on Alcoholic Liver Injury and Macrophage Polarization

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Puerariae Radix and Hovenia Seed were co‐fermented with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei to produce PHF. In a mouse model of alcohol‐induced liver injury, PHF intervention alleviated liver damage. The underlying mechanism may be related to the regulation of macrophage polarization.
