Hyaluronan Directs Alveolar Type II Cell Response to Acute Ozone Exposure in Mice.
Journal Article Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol · January 6, 2025 Becoming more frequent due to climate change, ozone (O3) exposures can cause lung injury. Alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells and hyaluronan (HA), a matrix component, are critical to repairing lung injury and restoring homeostasis. Here, we define the impact of HA ...

Journal Article Antioxidants (Basel) · October 31, 2024 Asthma is a widespread chronic lung disease characterized by airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness. This airway inflammation is classified by either the presence (T2-high) or absence (T2-low) of high levels of eosinophils. Because most therapies for ...

Journal Article Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol · June 2024 Lung inflammation, caused by acute exposure to ozone (O3), one of the six criteria air pollutants, is a significant source of morbidity in susceptible individuals. Alveolar macrophages (AMØs) are the most abundant immune cells in the normal lung, and their ... Full text Link to item CiteEducation, Training & Certifications
