The robust, sensitive, and selective detection of targeted biomolecules in their native
environment by prospective nanostructures holds much promise for real-time, accurate, and …

The endothelium that lines the interior of blood vessels is directly exposed to blood flow. The
shear stress arising from blood flow is “sensed” by the endothelium and is “transduced” into …

The effects of e-cigarette (e-cig) aerosol inhalation by nonsmokers have not been examined
to date. The present study was designed to evaluate the acute response to aerosol …

Quantum dots (QDs) are one of emerging engineering nanomaterials (NMs) with
advantageous properties which can act as candidates for clinical imaging and diagnosis …

Cessation of blood flow represents a physical event that is sensed by the pulmonary
endothelium leading to a signaling cascade that has been termed “mechanotransduction.” …

Quantum dots (QDs), are one kind of nanoscale semiconductor crystals with specific
electronic and optical properties, offering near-infrared mission and chemically active …

Fibrosis is a common feature of fibrotic diseases that poses a serious threat to global health
due to high morbidity and mortality in developing countries. There exist some chemical …

This study addressed the efficacy of a liposome-encapsulated nine amino acid peptide
[peroxiredoxin 6 PLA2 inhibitory peptide-2 (PIP-2)] for the prevention or treatment of acute …

The phospholipase A2 activity of peroxiredoxin 6 is inhibited by the transition state analog, 1-
hexadecyl-3-(trifluoroethyl)-sn-glycero-2-phosphomethanol (MJ33). This activity is required …

Ventilator induced lung injury (VILI) is a lung injury syndrome associated with mechanical
ventilation, most frequently for treatment of Acute Lung Injury (ALI), and generally secondary …
