Myofibroblasts emerge during alveolar regeneration following influenza-virus-induced lung injury by Ali Khadim, Georgios Kiliaris, Ana Ivonne Vazquez-Armendariz, Tara Procida-Kowalski, David Glaser, Marek Bartkuhn, Tanya Malik, Xuran Chu, Alena Moiseenko, Irina Kuznetsova, Negah Ahmadvand, Arun Lingampally, Stefan Hadzic, Ioannis Alexopoulos, Yuexin Chen, Andreas Günther, Jürgen Behr, Jens Neumann, Herbert B. Schiller, Xiaokun Li, Norbert Weissmann, Thomas Braun, Werner Seeger, Malgorzata Wygrecka, Rory E. Morty, Susanne Herold, Elie El Agha

“…Although AMF-like cells share a similar transcriptomic signature with myofibroblasts that are associated with aberrant repair and fibrosis, these cells do not derive from fibroblast growth factor 10-positive alveolar fibroblasts, and their dysregulation is associated with failed alveolar regeneration in humans. Our data emphasize the role played by developmental mechanisms in alveolar regeneration and highlight the context-dependent nature of myofibroblast biology and function during injury repair.…”

Research Progress on Harmful Products from Maillard Reaction in Dairy Products: Generation Pathways, Detection Methods, and Control Strategies by XU Wenlong, XIE Yijia, PAN Yang, LIAO Lijuan, HUANG Min, YANG Yinxi, WU Yongtai, LI Bing

“…The Maillard reaction imparts appealing aroma, color and texture to foods such as bread and coffee; however, in milk and dairy products, the Maillard reaction decreases their nutritional value and generates various harmful compounds, including furosine, furfural, and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which are associated with chronic diseases in humans. Understanding the formation mechanisms of harmful Maillard reaction products in dairy products and establishing control methods for these compounds are crucial for improving the quality of dairy products. …”
