In ex vivo human lung alveoli, H5N1 infects ATII cells, induces epithelial damage and activates innate immune responses.
Primary human tissue models allow functional analysis of pathogenicity in the human respiratory tract.

Hello Bluesky! 👋
We’re the Institute for Lung Research (iLung) at Philipps University Marburg. 🫁
We explore how the lungs defend themselves against infections and inflammation.
Follow us for new insights into immunity, RNA biology & lung health! 🔬🧬

Cold storage of human precision-cut lung slices in TiProtec preserves cellular composition and transcriptional responses and enables on-demand mechanistic studies - Respiratory Research Background Human precision-cut lung slices (hPCLS) are a unique platform for functional, mechanistic, and drug discovery studies in the field of respiratory research. However, tissue availability, gen...

Happy to share our work on cold storage of pcls. Hoping this will be of interest to many and will help to store, share and expand the use of PCLS in #lungresearch. Kudoz to Camila and Fee who Share first authorship. @atscommunity.bsky.social respiratory-research.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Neutrophil-chemoattractant CXCL5 induces lung barrier permeability in acute lung injury Rationale Acute lung injury is frequently caused by pneumonia, and severity correlates with inflammatory cell recruitment and lung barrier failure. Deciphering drug-targetable pathways is of clinical ...

Check out our newest preprint!
CXCL5 not only attracts neutrophils to the infected alveolus but also disrupts the lung barrier in acute lung injury. Targeting CXCL5 may stabilize the barrier and reduce inflammation in severe bacterial pneumonia. #LungResearch #AcuteLungInjury
