The phrase "ability to cause lung" is not correct and is incomplete in written English.
It may be used in a context discussing the potential effects of substances or conditions on lung health, but it requires additional information to be meaningful.
Example: "The ability to cause lung damage is a significant concern when evaluating the safety of certain chemicals."
Alternatives: "capacity to affect lung" or "potential to harm lung".
The authors further demonstrated that the ability to cause lung pathology was lost in IFN-gamma-deficient CD4+ T cells [39].
If categorized sequentially or chronologically, based on their ability to cause lung injury, atelectrauma would be the first because of repetitive alveolar recruitment and derecruitment induced by the release of PEEP during hyperinflation [ 35].
In order to relate free radical activity of metal oxide NPs to their actual ability to cause lung inflammation, we instilled NPs into rats at a single surface area dose of 500 cm/mL.
Tortoli and Koh also emphasized that NTM species differ in their ability to cause lung disease in humans [ 30, 31] and found that M. kansasii, M. malmoense, M. szulgai and M. shimoidei, which are considered more pathogenic than other NTMs, accounted, as a whole, for 1.1% of the isolates.
The ability of neutrophils to cause lung damage was mediated by increased expression of CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR 2 ligand in lung tissues (resident parenchymal cells) interacting with CXCR2 receptor on PMNs after mechanical injury.
Investigators attribute the ability of UFPs to cause lung injury and disease to the larger surface area, smaller size, and metal contaminants (Donaldson et al. 2004a, 2005b; Nel et al. 2006; Oberdörster et al. 2005b).
The authors have further noted that ability of the donor lymphocytes to cause lung pathology was lost in IFNγ-deficient CD4+ T cells [5].
We have covered its genomic organization and biochemistry and its ability to cause acute lung injury in people.
It has been known to cause lung cancer and asbestosis, a lung-scarring disease.
Asbestos has been found to cause lung cancer and asbestosis, a serious and sometimes fatal scarring of the lungs.
Asbestos has been shown to cause lung cancer, but not breast cancer or brain cancer.
