Neoalveolarization contributes to compensatory lung growth following pneumonectomy in mice
Regeneration of gas exchange area by induction of neoalveolarization would greatly improve therapeutic options in destructive pulmonary diseases. Unilateral pneumonectomy is an established model to remove defined portions of gas exchange area and study mechanisms of compensatory lung growth. We addressed the question whether new alveoli are added to the residual lung after pneumonectomy in mice...

BACKGROUND: Influenza outbreak has become a great lifethreateningdisease in the world. Nasal vaccines can inducesystemic IgG and mucosal IgA antibody responses, whichestablish two layers of immune defense against the infectiouspathogens like influenza. Mucosal vaccines must overcomeseveral limitations, including the mucociliary clearance andinefficient uptake of soluble antigens. Therefore, nas...
متن کاملCompensatory Lung Growth After Pneumonectomy
Pneumonectomy, the surgical removal of a lung, elicits a number of anatomical changes within the thoracic cavity that augments the diffusion capacity of the remaining lung. Pneumonectomy directs the entire cardiac output into the remaining lung and creates an empty hemithorax that results in a shift of the mediastinum toward the vacated thoracic compartment. In a number of experimental animal m...
متن کاملCompensatory lung growth after partial pneumonectomy enhances lung tumorigenesis induced by 3-methylcholanthrene.
In small mammals, partial pneumonectomy (PNX) elicits rapid hyperplastic compensatory growth of the remaining lung parenchyma to restore normal lung mass, structure, and function. In BALB mice subjected to PNX, compensatory lung growth is complete within 10 days. Because cellular hyperplasia contributes to the mechanism of tumor promotion by butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), we hypothesized that ...
