There is strong clinical evidence for the effectiveness of macrolides in the treatment of a number of chronic airway diseases through their immunomodulatory effects. Recently, new information has been released supporting the view that macrolides may also be beneficial in pathologic situations associated with altered repair of the alveolar structure, such as those observed in interstitial lung diseases and fibrosis. It is proposed that macrolides may contribute to lung regeneration through their actions on several components of the remodeling process. The present review provides new insights on the effects of macrolides on the regenerative response of alveolar epithelium to injury. It also discusses novel findings which suggest that macrolides may contribute to alveolar surfactant homeostasis.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D001343 Autophagy The segregation and degradation of various cytoplasmic constituents via engulfment by MULTIVESICULAR BODIES; VACUOLES; or AUTOPHAGOSOMES and their digestion by LYSOSOMES. It plays an important role in BIOLOGICAL METAMORPHOSIS and in the removal of bone by OSTEOCLASTS. Defective autophagy is associated with various diseases, including NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES and cancer.
