“[...] here we reveal a link between short telomere length in ATII cells and post-viral lung fibrosis outcome in post-COVID-19 patients.” Lung injury is a ...
In a recent study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, researchers examined the response of alveolar type II (ATII) pneumocytes to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and Bruton tyrosine ...
A novel iPSC-derived lung-on-chip model mimics human alveolar tissue, revealing macrophage-driven tuberculosis responses.
Background: Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6), predominantly expressed by type II alveolar cells, is linked to the prognosis and severity of interstitial lung disease (ILD). This investigation sought to ...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells taken from only one person.
The chip can simulate breathing and lung disease for an individual, holding promise for testing personalized treatments for tuberculosis.
Lung-on-chip model made of cells derived from a single person furthers understanding of tuberculosis and potential ...
