frequency and severity in developed nations. We review studies of murine allergic airway …

Mortality and morbidity of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome remain
high because of the lack of pharmacological therapies to prevent injury or promote repair …

Context: Seaweed metabolites (fucoidans, carrageenans, ulvans, lectins, and polyphenols)
are biologically active compounds that target proteins or genes of the influenza virus and …

Background The common cold, the most prevalent contagious viral disease in humans still
lacks a safe and effective antiviral treatment. Iota-Carrageenan is broadly active against …

Previous studies proved that bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) could
improve a variety of immune‐mediated disease by its immunomodulatory properties. In this …

Studies examining the role of programmed death 1 (PD-1) ligand 2 (PD-L2)/PD-1 in asthma
have yielded conflicting results. To clarify its role, we examined the PD-L2 expression in …

Stem cell-based treatment may represent a hope for the treatment of acute lung injury and
pulmonary fibrosis, and other chronic lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, asthma and …

Mesenchymal stem cells attenuate the severity of lung injury due to their immunomodulatory
properties. The effect of bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells on asthma is seldom …

Asthma is increasing in prevalence worldwide. It is characterized by typical symptoms and
variable airway obstruction punctuated with episodes of worsening symptoms known as …

Background Ganoderma lucidum-derived polysaccharide (PS-G) can rapidly and effectively
promote the activation and maturation of immature dendritic cells (DCs), suggesting that PS …
