COVID‐19 and pulmonary fibrosis: A potential role for lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts (2021)
Journal Article
John, A. E., Joseph, C., Jenkins, G., & Tatler, A. L. (2021). COVID‐19 and pulmonary fibrosis: A potential role for lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Immunological Reviews, 302(1), 228-240. https://doi.org/10.1111/imr.12977

The COVID-19 pandemic rapidly spread around the world following the first reports in Wuhan City, China in late 2019. The disease, caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus, is primarily a respiratory condition that can affect numerous other bodily systems...

Reduced biomechanical models for precision-cut lung-slice stretching experiments (2021)
Journal Article
Pybus, H. J., Tatler, A. L., Edgar, L. T., O’Dea, R. D., & Brook, B. S. (2021). Reduced biomechanical models for precision-cut lung-slice stretching experiments. Journal of Mathematical Biology, 82(5), Article 35. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00285-021-01578-2

Precision-cut lung-slices (PCLS), in which viable airways embedded within lung parenchyma are stretched or induced to contract, are a widely used ex vivo assay to investigate bronchoconstriction and, more recently, mechanical activation of proremodel...
