Exploring the associations between elevated plasma SP-D levels and OSCAR gene expression as potential biomarkers in patients with COPD: a cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) imposes a substantial burden on patients and healthcare systems. Spirometry is the most widely used test to diagnose the disease; however, a surrogate marker is required to predict the disease ...

Intestinal Dysbiosis and the Developing Lung: The Role of Toll-Like Receptor 4 in the Gut-Lung Axis. [PDF]

, 2020
BackgroundIn extremely premature infants, postnatal growth restriction (PNGR) is common and increases the risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH). Mechanisms by which poor nutrition impacts lung development are

Morphometric analysis of postnatal lung development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica): An ultrastructural study

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

Emerging research directions in nanoparticle‐based foam control for bioprocessing: a bibliometric approach

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Overfoaming remains a critical challenge in industrial bioprocesses, compromising mass transfer, operational stability, and downstream efficiency in bioreactors and wastewater treatment systems. This study provides a bibliometric and scientometric assessment of nanoparticle‐enabled foam control to map technological trends and identify research

Increased circulating levels of SP-D and IL-10 are associated with the development of disease severity and pulmonary fibrosis in patients with COVID-19

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundPatients with severe COVID-19 can rapidly develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which further increases the risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis.

Change of surfactant protein D and A after renal ischemia reperfusion injury.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with widespread effects on distant organs, including the lungs. Surfactant protein (SP)-A and SP-D are members of the C-type lectin family, which plays a critical role in host defense and regulation of inflammation

Atomically precise metal cluster enzymes for pathological tissue regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of atomically precise metal cluster enzymes (MCEs) for pathological tissue regeneration. Atomically precise MCEs can modulate biological processes, such as attenuation of inflammatory responses, eradication of bacterial pathogens, regulation of angiogenesis, and promotion of cell development.

Does maternal autoantibody that transfer to newborn cause disease?

Respirology Case Reports, 2019
Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) is associated with excess amount of granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF) autoantibody (GMAb) in the lung and blood. We experienced a female case with severe aPAP who could continue her

Orchestrating the metastatic symphony: the role of extracellular vesicles in the epithelial–mesenchymal transition and pulmonary niche formation of breast cancer

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The complexity of breast cancer (BC) lung metastasis lies in the capacity of tumour cells to interact efficiently with distant organs to promote colonisation, a process that involves the sophisticated coordination of inherent cellular plasticity and the remodelling of the distant microenvironment.
