Abstract Cannabis is used by an estimated 192 million people around the world. Most people use cannabis through the inhalation of cannabis smoke, which contains combustion by-products that can negatively affect lung health. Knowledge of these risks has led to a growing interest in cannabis vaporizers, which heat the dry cannabis flower without burning. Vaporizing cannabis still releases ...
Until today, influenza A virus (IAV) poses a great threat to human health having caused several pandemics with high mortality, e.g., the Spanish flu in 1918, the Asian flu in 1957, and the swine flu pandemic in 2009 (Taubenberger and Morens, 2006; Dawood et al., 2012; Viboud et al., 2016). IAV infects epithelial cells by binding with its hemagglutinin (HA) spikes to sialic acid ...
The triple-cell layered lung model was realized through high-precision patterning of multiple cell-laden biomaterials printed directly into culture dishes, enabled by the combination of multiple drop-on-demand 3D bioprinting printheads in the same process, alternating collagen layers with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) bioink embedding human lung ...

However, ENDS exposure, independent of nicotine, altered lung lipid homeostasis in alveolar macrophages and epithelial cells. ...
Recent data highlight the concept of a “reprogrammed” lung epithelium as critical in the development of lung fibrosis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are potent mediators of cellular crosstalk, and recent evidence supports their role in lung pathologies, such as IPF. Here, we demonstrate that syndecan-1 is overexpressed by the ...
The stress-strain relationship allows us to compute the complex shear modulus of the cell. Lung epithelial cells probed with AFM and magnetic tweezers exhibit a power-law dynamics with a weak exponent. This dynamics conforms to the rheology of soft glassy materials, suggesting that cytoskeleton internal disorder and matrix agitation could govern the mechanical ...
