Asthma remains a complex and multifactorial disease, with airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine being a hallmark feature. A recent study by Rojas-Ruiz et al (2025) utilizes SCIREQ’s innovative physioLens (ex vivo) and flexiVent (in vivo) platforms to shed light on the interplay between lung tissue compliance and methacholine response, offering new insights into the mechanisms ...
Recent advances in the fight against severe acute inflammatory lung diseases, including COVID-19, have revealed a promising new approach to treating pulmonary hyperinflammation and long-term lung damage such as fibrosis. ...
“After IV delivery, the cells migrate to the lungs for local therapeutic benefit. We expect the anti-inflammatory nature of these mesenchymal stem cells to have a positive impact in ARDS because of the interaction of the Neurokinin-1 receptors with Substance P, a neuropeptide that has long been known to be a primary mediator of inflammation in the ...
” Asthma attacks create an inflammation of the lungs and airways leading to difficulty in breathing, shortness of breath and even death. ...
Allergens from cockroaches, rodents, pet dander, pollen and mold can all trigger asthmatic attacks. Asthma attacks cause an inflammation of the lungs and airways leading to difficulty in breathing and sometimes even death. ...
Of particular concern is the potential of some of these particles to cause inflammation in the lungs if they are inhaled. Inflammation is the immune system's response to irritants. The researchers therefore wanted to determine the most efficient way of testing nanoparticles of metal oxides for their potential to cause ...
Published in today's edition of the online journal 'Genome Biology,' the study is the first to explain how fine particles in air pollution work with artery-clogging fats to switch on the genes that cause blood vessel inflammation and lead to hardening of the arteries and cardiovascular disease. ...
