An immunologist by training, Wack studied immune and lung epithelial cells for years before realizing that the lung endothelial cells, which are part of the lung barrier, could be key to an organism’s ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion ...

Further investigations into the immune mechanisms involved revealed that tumors were enriched in plasma cells producing IgA antibodies as well as IL-10 and TGF-beta, two compounds that suppress the ...

Lung endothelial cells in the tumor microenvironment produced more CXCL12, a compound that attracts plasma cells. In addition, immune T cells, typically in charge of fighting the tumor ...

“The smallest particles can be inhaled deep into the lungs and deposited there. This study examined the response of brain endothelial cells to combustion products delivered through the bloodstrea ...

Mitochondrial hyperfusion induces metabolic remodeling in lung endothelial cells by modifying the activities of electron transport chain complexes I and III.

A single molecular switch is essential for blood stem cells to enter an activated, regenerative state in which they produce ...

According to the traditional view of lung development, ingrowing septa (dividers) emerge from a layer of epithelial, endothelial and mesenchymal cells to divide airspaces into the alveoli.
