During tests on mice, the researchers found that the sweet vape interfered with cells called alveolar macrophages and prevented them from clearing out bacteria. The researchers say that this could ...

He was disillusioned at having been unable to find work in his preferred field of respiratory medicine, specifically the topic of differentiation and proliferation of alveolar macrophages ...

In a healthy lung, excess surfactant is cleared and digested by immune cells called alveolar macrophages. Alveolar macrophages need to be stimulated by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating ...

Consistent with lung surfactant build up in the children’s lungs and the monocyte migration impairment, the researchers found a decreased number of alveolar macrophages in their patients’ ...

The work, published in Science in an article titled, “Macrophage peroxisomes guide alveolar regeneration and limit SARS-CoV-2 tissue sequelae,” identifies how the viral infection damages ...
