including flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, and single-cell RNA sequencing. "Our findings provide a novel and crucial mechanism for alveolar repair by these atypical macrophages," explains ...

Alveolar macrophages, a type of immune cell resident in the lungs, are scavengers, first-line defenders against pathogens and inhaled environmental particles responsible for clearing out debris.

Cytologic preparations of bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid from two patients show “foamy” alveolar macrophages (Panel B; buffered eosin and azure B, ×480). Comparison with the brown-staining red ...

Increased mortality from infection in patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis occurs ... Cell-surface markers of apoptosis were assessed by flow cytometry (Apoptosis Detection Kit I, Pharmingen).

First, conditional deletion of the TGF-β1 gene in mouse alveolar macrophages showed that TGF-β1 produced by the macrophages was required for pulmonary fibrosis in the mouse model.

Researchers at Texas Biomedical Research Institute have succeeded in generating the lung's most important immune cell, the alveolar macrophage, in the lab. The cell culture model will make it much ...

Researchers at Texas Biomedical Research Institute report they have created a new cell culture model for human alveolar macrophages in the lab. The model was developed to improve research for lung ...

Cells called alveolar macrophages help clear the surfactant and stop it from building up. In most cases of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis in adults, the cause is thought to be a problem with ...
