OBJECTIVE: We utilized microscopy to measure the impact of increasing tidal volume on individual alveolar mechanics (i.e., the dynamic change in alveolar size during tidal ventilation) in the living p...
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens are essential in the presentation of antigens to T lymphocytes, and cells expressing MHC class II antigens are known to play a role as antigen ...
The phospholipid composition of type II alveolar epithelial cells from the rabbit was compared with that of alveolar macrophages, lung lavage and lung tissue. In addition, the phospholipid composition...
Although glucocorticoids are the most widely used therapeutic modality in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the administration of these agents infrequently arrests the progressive ...
