The seasonal nature of outbreaks of respiratory viral infections with increased transmission
during low temperatures has been well established. Accordingly, temperature has been …

Severe lesions of airway epithelia are observed in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The regulatory
mechanisms of cell migration and proliferation processes, involved in the repair of injured …

Airway damage and remodelling are important components of lung pathology progression
in cystic fibrosis (CF). Although repair mechanisms are engaged to restore the epithelial …

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is expressed in the fetal
lung, but during lung development it gradually disappears in cells of future alveolar spaces. …

Several respiratory diseases are associated with extensive damage of lung epithelia, and
the regulatory mechanisms involved in their regeneration are not clearly defined. Growth …

Regulation of ENaC and CFTR expression with K+ channel modulators and effect on fluid
absorption across alveolar epithelial cells | American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and …

The vectorial transport of ions and water across epithelial cells depends to a large extent on
the coordination of the apical and basolateral ion fluxes with energy supply. In this work we …

Different serological assays were rapidly generated to study humoral responses against the
SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein. Due to the intrinsic difficulty of working with SARS-CoV-2 …

Chronic infection and inflammation have been associated with progressive airway epithelial
damage in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, the effect of inflammatory products on …

We have reported that TNF, a proinflammatory cytokine present in several lung pathologies,
decreases the expression and activity of the epithelial Na + channel (ENaC) by ∼70% in …
