Can HRCT be used as a marker of airway remodelling in children with difficult asthma? [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Whole airway wall thickening on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is reported to parallel thickening of the bronchial epithelial reticular basement membrane (RBM) in adult asthmatics. A similar relationship in children with difficult

Airway Microbiota Is Associated with Upregulation of the PI3K Pathway in Lung Cancer
Rationale: In lung cancer, upregulation of the PI3K (phosphoinositide 3‐kinase) pathway is an early event that contributes to cell proliferation, survival, and tissue invasion.
