Bronchial inflammation is a characteristic of asthma that may be examined indirectly by
bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Nine normal individuals were compared with 38 age …

Pulmonary niche dynamically orchestrates the signals, such as proliferation or differentiation
of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which allows inducing tissue repair. Lung niche …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a significant role in the mechanical behaviour of the
lung parenchyma. The ECM is composed of a three-dimensional fibre mesh that is filled with …

D amatic changes in the architecture of the airway walls have been described in severe

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a major component of the extracellular matrix. It is synthesized by
hyaluronan synthases (HAS) into high-molecular-weight chains (HMW-HA) that exhibit anti …

Introduction Inhaled hypertonic saline improves lung function and decreases pulmonary
exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis. However, side effects such as cough, narrowing …
