Understanding the anatomy of the breast is important in ... do not mean a different or better quality of milk. There are alveolar cells within the breast that make breast milk.

Approximately 95% of the alveolar surface is covered by alveolar type I cells, with the remainder made up of type II cells. Type II cells and their role in surfactant secretion have been studied ...

Researchers at Texas Biomedical Research Institute have succeeded in generating the lung's most important immune cell, the alveolar macrophage, in the lab. The cell culture model will make it much ...

In this way they made a map of predicted interactions among all these cells, from which they could identify key factors in alveolar development. Lastly, they confirmed the activity of two of these ...

Ikoma, Japan – The human immune system is a highly complex network of cells, signals, and responses that is tightly regulated to ensure that the body can fight off infection without damaging its ...

A new research paper titled "Modulating in vitro lung fibroblast activation via senolysis of senescent human alveolar epithelial cells" has been published in Aging. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ...

Some years ago, Ahmad Nabhan set out to control the most dangerous cell in the human body. That’s what Nabhan and his advisor called a small community of pulmonary denizens known as alveolar ...

Regenerated airway and alveolar cells derived from human iPSCs express proteins that match human respiratory cell biomarkers and play an important role in pathogenesis, such as ACE2 receptor ...

and single-cell RNA sequencing. "Our findings provide a novel and crucial mechanism for alveolar repair by these atypical macrophages," explains Coraline Radermecker. "We have detailed their ...

Specialized lung cells appear in the developing fetus much earlier than scientists previously thought. A new animal study (“Early lineage specification defines alveolar epithelial ontogeny in ...

and single-cell RNA sequencing. "Our findings provide a novel and crucial mechanism for alveolar repair by these atypical macrophages," explains Coraline Radermecker. "We have detailed their ...
