Alveolar Capillary Dysplasia (ACD) is a rare, often lethal, congenital lung developmental disorder marked by an abnormality in the alignment of pulmonary veins and deficient capillary development.

This schematic shows how the small airsacs of the lung called alveoli, specifically the alveolar-capillary interface that is the major site of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is modeled on the ...

Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP) is a rare disease characterized by progressive surfactant accumulation and hypoxemia caused by autoantibodies against granulocyte–macrophage ...

When babies are born with alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACDMPV), their skin starts to turn blue from the under-oxygenated blood in their systems. But unlike most ...

When influenza A viruses and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infect the human body, innate immune responses in the lung act as the first line of defense against these ...

This schematic shows how the small airsacs of the lung called alveoli, specifically the alveolar-capillary interface that is the major site of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is modeled on the ...

Population aging is reshaping the landscape of respiratory disease, with COPD, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, ...

Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic, progressive respiratory disease in which the normal barrier between alveoli and capillaries is compromised, leading to persistent injury and inflammation of the lung ...
