Assessment of genetic diversity patterns of different serotypes of dengue virus, prevalent in patients from Kerala, India: a strain specific mutation study and its relevance to pathogenesis

This study analyzes genetic diversity in dengue virus serotypes circulating in Kerala, India, identifying mutations and clade formations that may influence disease severity.

Eosinophils restrict diesel exhaust particles induced cell proliferation of lung epithelial A549 cells, vial interleukin-13 mediated mechanisms: implications for tissue remodelling and fibrosis

This study shows that diesel exhaust particles induce eosinophil proliferation and interleukin-13 release, which restricts lung epithelial cell proliferation and may contribute to tissue remodeling and fibrosis.

Proliferation of lung epithelial cells is regulated by the mechanisms of autophagy upon exposure of soots

This study shows soots induce lung epithelial cell proliferation through distinct autophagic mechanisms, with fullerene soot inhibiting autophagy and DEP upregulating it.
