Pulmonary atelectasis is common in the perioperative period. Physiologically, it is produced
when collapsing forces derived from positive pleural pressure and surface tension overcome …

The tissue-resident macrophages of barrier organs constitute the first line of defence against
pathogens at the systemic interface with the ambient environment. In the lung, resident …

COVID-19 can be divided into three clinical stages, and one can speculate that these stages
correlate with where the infection resides. For the asymptomatic phase, the infection mostly …

The pulmonary circulation is a low-resistance, low-pressure, and high-compliance system
that allows the lungs to receive the entire cardiac output. Pulmonary arterial pressure is a …

In this review we summarize recent major advances in our understanding on the molecular
mechanisms, mediators, and biomarkers of acute lung injury (ALI) and alveolar-capillary …

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), also known as the von Euler–Liljestrand
mechanism, is an essential response of the pulmonary vasculature to acute and sustained …

In the pulmonary vasculature, the endothelial and smooth muscle cells are two key cell types
that play a major role in the pathobiology of pulmonary vascular disease and pulmonary …
