HECTD1-mediated SFTPB overexpression in fibrotic lung induced by silica

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Alveolar epithelial cells type 2 are lung progenitor and secretory cells capable of secreting four surfactant proteins, namely surfactant protein A (SFTPA), surfactant protein B (SFTPB), surfactant protein C (SFTPC), and surfactant protein D (SFTPD ...

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Surfactant proteins levels in asthmatic patients and their correlation with severity of asthma: a systematic review

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background Surfactant decreases surface tension in the peripheral airways and plays a role in regulating the lung’s immune responses. Several reports have documented changes in surfactant proteins levels, especially surfactant protein D (SP-D) and ...

Nitride MXenes Beyond Carbides: Bridging the Gap Between Computational Prediction and Experimental Realization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Nitride MXenes remain constrained by a persistent gap between computational prediction and experimental realization. This Review identifies the thermodynamic, kinetic, and chemical barriers limiting their synthesis, critically evaluates emerging fabrication routes, and proposes a multidimensional computational‐experimental framework to accelerate the ...

Surfactant Protein D Is a Biomarker of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Общая реаниматология, 2013
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is one of the major problems of reanimatology. Current technologies allow diagnosis of early-stage ARDS. At the same time, no objective parameters for assessing structural damage to the air-blood barrier are ...
