Air pollution may promote asthma and worsen lung diseases by altering immune regulation and increasing oxidative stress, according to recent research on mice.

Fetal exposure to inflammation has long been identified as a risk factor for a range of harmful conditions, but new research ...

Air pollution is a global health concern, with over 90% of the world's population breathing air that exceeds World Health ...

The hedgehog signaling pathway helps regenerate damaged tissue in the airways and pancreas. Activating it may protect tissue against smoke inhalation and prevent diabetes progression.

In response to various inflammatory stimuli, lung endothelial and epithelial cells, alveolar macrophages and other inflammatory cells produce ROS that damage the lungs and initiate proinflammatory ...

One of the key players involved in the pathogenesis and resolution of ALI/ARDS is the respiratory epithelium, which is involved in maintaining the integrity, function and host responses to lung ...

Extremely preterm newborns who weigh less than 3.3 pounds have immature lungs that often require high levels of ventilation oxygen in the hospital. This contributes to the chronic lung disease ...

The etiology of IPF remains unknown; however, it is believed to stem from epithelial damage, abnormal epithelial-fibroblast communication, and a subsequent dysregulated tissue repair response.

Popcorn lung is more than just a strange name — it’s a serious, irreversible lung disease linked to chemicals in some vape flavours.

This project is not being offered for the current term. Please check back next semester for updates. The research of our laboratory is focused on lung embryonic specification and especially lung ...
