New World hantaviruses such as Andes virus cause respiratory illness, but they hit differently than common viruses that lead to lung failure. The hantaviruses grow slowly and kill swiftly, claiming ...

Cell plasticity, changes in cell fate, is crucial for tissue regeneration. In the lung, failure of regeneration leads to diseases, including fibrosis. However, the mechanisms governing alveolar cell ...

Drp1 (dynamin-related protein 1), a large GTPase, mediates the increased mitochondrial fission, which contributes to hyperproliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells in pulmonary arterial ...

Introduction: Cancer cells emit characteristic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are potentially generated from ROS-based lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The metabolism of ...

Electronic cigarettes have become increasingly popular, but the results of previous studies on electronic cigarette exposure in animals have been equivocal. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ...

Your doctor needs to find the cause of your breathlessness. They ask lots of questions about your health and your breathing problems. They might give you a questionnaire to help you describe how ...

Ferroptosis is a cell death process caused by metabolic dysfunction with the feature of aberrant iron accumulation. Emerging studies have identified that ferroptosis is an important biological ...

Cancer metastasis is the predominant cause of cancer mortality, however current treatments do not specifically target the spreading cancer cells. We identified a novel dual epithelial E-cadherin (CDH1 ...

POR (cytochrome P450 reductase) provides electrons for the catalytic activity of the CYP (cytochrome P450) monooxygenases. CYPs are dual-function enzymes as they generate protective vasoactive ...

COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease that results from an infection with the virus SARS-CoV-2, a type of coronavirus. COVID-19 can occur without any symptoms. It can also cause symptoms that are ...

Research on graphene abounds, from fundamental science to device applications. In pursuit of complementary morphologies, formation of graphene foams is often preferred over the native two-dimensional ...
