Veins in the lungs, or pulmonary veins, play a critical role not only in lung functioning but also in maintaining sufficient ...

Their new paper shows that venous endothelial cells can help fix damaged blood vessels in the lungs. The researchers found ...

Penn Vet and Penn Medicine researchers found that endothelial cells lining the veins in lungs contribute to repair of blood vessels after lung injury.

心脏与肺脏是两个高度关联的器官，心脏功能异常会影响肺脏，反之亦然。其中，肺动脉高压就是一种致死率较高的疾病，该病发展到末期会导致右心衰竭，且目前没有很好的治疗手段。在该项工作中，研究人员采用心脏主动脉弓缩窄模型引发肺动脉高压和退行性肺纤维化，模拟了临床上左心疾病引起的肺动脉高压和肺纤维化。其基本原理是，主动脉弓缩窄引起左心室压力增大和左心室肥厚，随后引起左心房和肺动脉和肺静脉压力增大，引起肺动脉高 ...

Paediatric patients have a wide age range, a high proportion of acute diseases, insidious clinical manifestations with the ...

The innate immune system releases multiple inflammatory cytokines in response to pathogens, and these cytokines directly combat the infectious agent and recruit additional immune responses.

All blood vessels are specifically structured to perform their function. For example, a capillary is microscopically thin to allow gases to exchange, the arteries are tough and flexible to cope ...
