Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devasting lung disease characterized by progressive scarring of lung tissue. As fibrosis develops, patients experience worsening shortness of breath, reduced lung capacity and ultimately respiratory failure. ...
Research in the field of pulmonary biology often requires detailed analysis of lung tissues. One of the optimal methods for studying lung structures and functions in mice is the use of C57 mouse models, specifically through the preparation of frozen sections. ...
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that is characterized with snoring and frequent interruptions in breathing, when asleep. That impacts quality sleep and puts the individual at risk of health issues. Though CPAP therapy is considered gold standard in treating sleep apnea, there are a multitude of vitamins and minerals that can help you get better sleep by addressing factors like muscle relaxation ...
Precision-Cut Lung Slices (PCLS) have emerged as a innovative ex vivo model that allows researchers to explore deep into lung physiology, disease mechanisms, and pharmacological responses. By offering a unique combination of biological complexity and controlled experimental conditions, PCLS serve as a critical bridge between the limitations of traditional in vitro cell cultures and the ...
This enzyme is known for its ability to degrade elastin, a key protein that provides elasticity and resilience to tissues such as skin, lungs, and blood vessels. Understanding the functions and implications of elastase is crucial in biochemistry and medicine, as it has a significant impact on both health and disease. ...
We compared the differential gene expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) between two platforms in order to find the most relevant genomic signatures of tumor recurrence. Materials and Methods We analyzed gene expression in frozen lung cancer tissue from 59 selected patients who had undergone surgical resection of NSCLC. ...
This DDS also prevents topical stimulation of lung tissue and reduces drug toxicity. Using surface-bound ligands or antibodies, the most significant advantage of liposome formulations for pulmonary administration application is the targeting of specific cell populations.Enhance antibiotic efficacy and safetyMany factors hinder the effective therapeutic effects of ...
Mercury is known to specifically attack the brain, kidneys, and lungs. Symptoms of this poisoning can include tremors, memory loss, body numbness, and the loss of motor functions. ...
When natural respiratory humidification decreases pulmonic infections and damage to lung tissue may ...
“They need to be surrounded by some sort of supporting tissue – a scaffold, we call it,” Betalin CEO Nikolai Kunicher tells ISRAEL21c. ...
Betalin Therapeutics has developed the first bio-artificial pancreas, composed of pig’s lung tissue and insulin secreting cells. The artificial pancreas would be implanted into the patient and connect with his or her blood vessels, and then be able to measure the body’s sugar level and secrete an optimal amount of insulin needed to balance blood ...
However, ENDS exposure, independent of nicotine, altered lung lipid homeostasis in alveolar macrophages and epithelial cells. ...
We confirmed that 0.5 Gy whole-body gamma-ray irradiation (four doses over two weeks) significantly suppressed colony formation in the lungs. In the lung tissue 24 h after irradiation, both the level of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) protein and its activity were significantly decreased. We also found that the activity of MMP-9 was ...
The phantom was constructed in-house by tissue substitutes representing bone skeleton, muscular tissue, lungs, mediastinum and the organs of the upper quadrants of the abdomen, such as the liver and spleen. A tomography was accomplished showing the radiological response verifying the similarity of the electronic density obtained by the number of ...
