    Article Snippet: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe lung disease marked by strong neutrophil-related inflammation and pulmonary edema.. However, how activated neutrophils damage pulmonary lymphatic function during ALI remains unclear.. In this study, we used an LPS-induced ALI mouse model, pulmonary lymphatic tracing, neutrophil depletion, NET degradation, NE inhibition, LEC experiments, RNA sequencing, and molecular analyses to examine this question.

    Article Title: Species-specific cleavage of the autophagy adaptor p62 dictates responses to TNF.
    Article Snippet: The FFPE sections were dewaxed (Dewax solution, Leica, Cat# AR9222), underwent epitope retrieval (ER2 solution, Leica, Cat# AR9640) for 20 min at 100◦C, rinsed with Leica wash buffer (Leica, Cat# AR9590) before peroxidase blocking using an Intense R kit (Leica, Cat# DS9263). .. Sections were next rinsed with wash buffer before incubation in either cleaved caspase-3 (1/500 dilution, Cell Signaling, Cat# 9661; RRID:AB_2341188) or cleaved caspase-8 (1/200 dilution, Cell Signaling, Cat# 8592S; RRID:AB_10999739) antibody for 30 min. .. Sections were again rinsed with wash buffer and subsequently incubated in rabbit envision secondary antibody (Agilent, Cat# K4003; RRID:AB_2630375) for a further 30 min. After rinsing with wash buffer, liquid DAB (Agilent, Cat# K3468) was applied to the sections for 10 min before washing in water and counterstaining with haematoxylin z (CellPath, Cat# RBA-4201-00A).
