Alveolar macrophage function is impaired following inhalation of berry e-cigarette vapour 2750
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Description In the lower respiratory tract, the alveolar spaces are divided from the bloodstream and the external environment by only a few microns of interstitial tissue. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) defend this delicate mucosal surface from invading infections by regularly patrolling the site. AMs have three behaviour modalities to achieve this goal: extending cell protrusions to sample surrounding areas, squeezing the whole cell body between alveoli, and patrolling by moving the cell body around each alveolus. In this study we found Rho GTPase, cell division control protein 42 (CDC42) expression significantly decreased after berry-flavoured e-cigarette (e-cig) exposure. This shifted AM behaviour from squeezing to probing. Changes in AM behaviour led to a reduction in the clearance of inhaled bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These findings shed light on pathways involved in AM migration and highlight the harmful impact of e-cigarette vaping on alveolar macrophage function.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
