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.

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 ...

IN the normal subject, an increment in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Pco 2) in arterial blood of only a few millimeters of mercury suffices to double or even triple minute and alveolar ...

The lung is one of the tissues most sensitive to radiation in the human body. People exposed to high radiation doses following nuclear incidents develop radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), which ...

The alveolar capillaries have been visulalized using immunofluorescence against the capillary marker protein Periaxin and visualized by light sheet microscopy (yellow color). DAPI stained nuclei are ...

Easy breathing depends on the millions of delicate, air-filled sacs, known as alveoli, that are the site of gaseous exchange in the lungs. Each alveolus is composed of two distinct epithelial cell ...
