After Tezspire reduced the need for nasal polyp surgery by 98% in patients with a severe respiratory condition, the biopharma ...

Researchers exposed cultures of human cells that line the upper airway, known as human bronchial epithelium, to dry air. After exposure, the cells were evaluated for mucus thickness and inflammatory ...

Airway epithelial cells act as a physical barrier against environmental toxins and injury, and modulate inflammation and the immune response. As such, maintenance of their integrity is critical.

A therapy using a patient's own proximal basal stem cells shows promise to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

The growing body of genetic and clinical data highlight the need to consider the role of structural components of the airway in the onset and propagation of asthma. In particular, the epithelium ...

This study introduces a novel mechanism to explain how increased VPD can affect airway epithelial cells. Researchers observed how airway mucus, a dilute hydrogel composed of salts, globular ...

GSH in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of the lower respiratory tract is thought to be the first line of defense against oxidative stress. Inhalation (nebulized or aerosolized) is the only known ...
