Dendritic cells play a key role in determining adaptive immunity, and there is growing interest
in characterizing and manipulating the interactions between dendritic cells and biomaterial …

Rationale: Interstitial macrophages (IMs) and airspace macrophages (AMs) play critical roles
in lung homeostasis and host defense, and are central to the pathogenesis of a number of …

The pathogenesis of the marked pulmonary microvasculature injury, a distinguishing
feature of COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (COVID-ARDS), remains unclear. …

Influencing the host immune system via implantable cell-delivery devices has the potential
to reduce inflammation at the transplant site and increase the likelihood of tissue acceptance. …

Most human killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) are expressed by natural killer (NK)
cells and recognize HLA class I molecules as ligands. KIR3DL3 is a conserved but …

Cell encapsulation has long been investigated as a means to achieve transplant
immunoprotection as it creates a physical barrier between allograft tissue and host immune cells. …

A polymerizable superoxide dismutase mimetic (SODm) was incorporated into poly(ethylene
glycol) (PEG) hydrogels to protect encapsulated cells from superoxide‐mediated damage. …

Supportive mechanical ventilation is a necessary lifesaving treatment for acute respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS). This intervention often leads to injury exacerbation by ventilator-…

Background DNA microarrays have proven powerful for functional genomics studies. Several
technologies exist for the generation of whole-genome arrays. It is well documented that …

Lung cancer is the leading global cause of cancer‐related deaths. Although smoking
cessation is the best prevention, 50% of lung cancer diagnoses occur in people who have quit …
