Our second presentation used alveolar organoid systems derived from donor or IPF lung epithelial cells to demonstrate LTI-03's potential to promote and sustain type 2 alveolar epithelial cell, or ...

"We have detailed their characteristics, origin, location in the damaged lung, the signals they require to function, and their role in tissue regeneration, specifically acting on type 2 alveolar ...

Researchers at the University of Liège (Belgium) have discovered a new population of macrophages, important innate immune cells that populate the lungs after injury caused by respiratory viruses ...

The UAB researchers showed that TREM2 — which stands for triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells 2 — is predominantly expressed on monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages in bleomycin-induced ...
