Sirolimus-induced secondary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary syndrome that is characterized by the accumulation of excess surfactant in the alveolar space, leading to impaired gas exchange. Sirolimus-induced PAP is an extremely rare entity that has only been

Alveolar macrophages of GM-CSF knockout mice exhibit mixed M1 and M2 phenotypes [PDF]
Background Activin A is a pleiotrophic regulatory cytokine, the ablation of which is neonatal lethal. Healthy human alveolar macrophages (AMs) constitutively express activin A, but AMs of patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) are ...

Mavrilimumab, a fully human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor α monoclonal antibody: long-term safety and efficacy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Objective: Mavrilimumab, a human monoclonal antibody, targets granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor alpha. We report mavrilimumab long-term safety and efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis patients in two phase IIb studies (1071, 1107 ...

Alveolar macrophages develop from fetal monocytes that differentiate into long-lived cells in the first week of life via GM-CSF [PDF]
Tissue-resident macrophages can develop from circulating adult monocytes or from primitive yolk sac-derived macrophages. The precise ontogeny of alveolar macrophages (AMFs) is unknown. By performing BrdU labeling and parabiosis experiments in adult mice,

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in a cat [PDF]
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is an extremely rare lung disease in animals and humans. It is characterized by the deposition of a large amount of phospholipoproteinaceous material in the alveoli. There are several possible etiologies, both congenital and acquired. Alveolar macrophages play an important role in the clearance of surfactant.
