Multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia is a recently described pulmonary manifestation of tuberous sclerosis. First described by Popper et al in 1991, there are only slightly more than 30 ...

It is true that most fibroblast pneumocyte factor (FPF) studies have used rat or mouse fetal lung fibroblasts and type 2 cells. However, Smith was intensely interested in the generalizability of ...

It reduces surface tension during inspiration and avoids alveolar collapse during expiration. It is synthetized by alveolar type 2 pneumocytes (T2C) and it is composed of phospholipids (~90%), mainly ...

Understand the blood-air interface in the alveolus and know the function of the type 1 and 2 pneumocyte and alveolar macrophage. The respiratory system functions in the exchange of gases between the ...

Pathophysiology of Alveolar Pneumocytes The wall of alveoli contains type-1 and type-2 pneumocytes that play an important role in the exchange of gases. Type-1 pneumocytes are responsible for gaseous ...

To characterize the molecular mechanisms of nitrofen-induced pulmonary hypoplasia. After administration of nitrofen to cultured type IIA549 pneumocytes, cell proliferation and DNA synthesis were ...

The current approach aims to treat COVID-19 pneumonia in two stages, with antiviral treatments in the first stage targeting the SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced destruction of the alveolar pneumocytes ...
