Iron Deficiency Impairs Dendritic Cell Development and Function, Compromising Host Anti‐Infection Capacity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Iron deficiency reduces monocyte dendritic cell progenitor (MDP) numbers by inhibiting migration and proliferation while promoting apoptosis, subsequently reducing downstream common dendritic cell precursors (CDP) and dendritic cell (DC). Impaired DCs enter the lungs via blood circulation, where reduced antigen presentation impairs T‐cell activation ...

Mucus and mucins in diseases of the intestinal and respiratory tracts [PDF]

Journal of Internal Medicine, 2019
AbstractThis review describes the organization and importance of mucus in the intestine and lungs in relation to the diseases cystic fibrosis (CF), ulcerative colitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The inner surfaces of the body are protected by mucus built around polymeric glycoproteins called mucins.

α‐Synuclein Pathology Spreads in a Midbrain–Hindbrain Assembloid Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel midbrain–hindbrain assembloid model demonstrates the spread of α‐synuclein pathology, a hallmark of Parkinson's disease, mimicking Braak's hypothesis. This model reveals how pathology propagates from the hindbrain to the midbrain, inducing synaptic changes and early signs of neuronal vulnerability. It offers an innovative platform for exploring

Frequent detection of bocavirus DNA in German children with respiratory tract infections

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2006
Background In a substantial proportion of respiratory tract diseases of suspected infectious origin, the etiology is unknown. Some of these cases may be caused by the recently described human bocavirus (hBoV). The aim of this study was to investigate the

Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in Ciliopathies: Emerging Insights and Therapeutic Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HDAC6 regulates primary cilia, crucial for cellular signalling and environmental responses. Dysregulation of HDAC6 contributes to ciliopathies, affecting multiple organs. This review examines HDAC6's role in ciliogenesis, its interaction with signaling molecules, and its potential as a therapeutic target.

Robust Deep Learning Framework For Predicting Respiratory Anomalies and Diseases [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
This paper presents a robust deep learning framework developed to detect respiratory diseases from recordings of respiratory sounds. The complete detection process firstly involves front end feature extraction where recordings are transformed into spectrograms that convey both spectral and temporal information.
