Regeneration of the lung alveolus by an evolutionarily conserved epithelial progenitor

…, MP Morley, FA Alkhaleel, J Kong, S Zhou, E Cantu… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Functional tissue regeneration is required for the restoration of normal organ homeostasis
after severe injury. Some organs, such as the intestine, harbour active stem cells throughout …

Human distal airways contain a multipotent secretory cell that can regenerate alveoli

…, JD Christie, JM Diamond, JF Engelhardt, E Cantu… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
The human lung differs substantially from its mouse counterpart, resulting in a distinct distal
airway architecture affected by disease pathology in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. …

Clinical risk factors for primary graft dysfunction after lung transplantation

…, SL Bellamy, DJ Lederer, E Cantu… - American journal of …, 2013 - atsjournals.org
Rationale: Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is the main cause of early morbidity and mortality
after lung transplantation. Previous studies have yielded conflicting results for PGD risk …

Report of the ISHLT working group on primary lung graft dysfunction, part I: definition and grading—a 2016 consensus group statement of the International Society for …

…, PA Corris, MM Crespo, C Witt, E Cantu… - The Journal of Heart …, 2017 - jhltonline.org
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) refers to the syndrome of acute lung injury early after lung
transplantation (LTx). 1 In 2005, based on the need for a reliable and valid definition with clear …

[HTML][HTML] Red blood cell-hitchhiking boosts delivery of nanocarriers to chosen organs by orders of magnitude

…, JV Gregory, J Lahann, T Wang, E Cantu… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Drug delivery by nanocarriers (NCs) has long been stymied by dominant liver uptake and
limited target organ deposition, even when NCs are targeted using affinity moieties. Here we …

Arginase 1 is an innate lymphoid-cell-intrinsic metabolic checkpoint controlling type 2 inflammation

…, H Shah, JR Cross, JM Diamond, E Cantu… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) regulate tissue inflammation and repair after
activation by cell-extrinsic factors such as host-derived cytokines. However, the cell-intrinsic …

[HTML][HTML] Viral metagenomics reveal blooms of anelloviruses in the respiratory tract of lung transplant recipients

…, K Bittinger, A Bailey, JM Diamond, E Cantu… - American Journal of …, 2015 - Elsevier
Few studies have examined the lung virome in health and disease. Outcomes of lung
transplantation are known to be influenced by several recognized respiratory viruses, but global …

Human tumor-associated monocytes/macrophages and their regulation of T cell responses in early-stage lung cancer

…, S O'Brien, EK Moon, E Cantu… - Science translational …, 2019 - science.org
Data from mouse tumor models suggest that tumor-associated monocyte/macrophage lineage
cells (MMLCs) dampen antitumor immune responses. However, given the fundamental …

J. Maxwell Chamberlain Memorial Paper. Early fundoplication prevents chronic allograft dysfunction in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.

E Cantu 3rd, JZ Appel 3rd, MG Hartwig… - The Annals of …, 2004 - europepmc.org
Background Chronic allograft dysfunction limits the long-term success of lung transplantation.
Increasing evidence suggests nonimmune mediated injury such as due to reflux …

Biophysical forces mediated by respiration maintain lung alveolar epithelial cell fate

…, J Katzen, MC Basil, SM Lin, JD Planer, E Cantu… - Cell, 2023 - cell.com
Lungs undergo mechanical strain during breathing, but how these biophysical forces affect
cell fate and tissue homeostasis are unclear. We show that biophysical forces through normal …
