Neutrophil migration in the lung is altered by alveolar collapse and stretch

Yuqing Deng, Byungjun Kang, Linzheng Shi, Chanhong Min, Kathryn Regan, Joseph K. Hall, Abdulrahman Kobayter, Neel Sajja, Kenneth R. Lutchen, J. William Boley, Jude M. Phillip, Bélâ Suki, Hadi Tavakoli Nia

This study shows that alveolar collapse increases neutrophil migration speed, which is modulated by mechanical and biochemical factors.

Micromechanics of lung capillaries across mouse lifespan and in positive- vs negative-pressure ventilation

Kathryn Regan, Lauren Castle, Robert LeBourdais, Abdulrahman Kobayter, Linzheng Shi, Winita Wangsrikhun, Gabrielle N. Grifno, Rohin Banerji, Athanasios Batgidis, Bélâ Suki, Hadi Tavakoli Nia

This study measures lung capillary and alveolar mechanics across mouse lifespan and under different ventilation modes, finding age-related changes in distensibility and ventilation mode effects on capillary compression.
