The Global Airways Unit: A Multidisciplinary Strategy for Early Diagnosis and Comorbidity Detection
ABSTRACT Background Chronic respiratory diseases impose a large global burden of morbidity, mortality, and cost. The concept of a global airway has become increasingly supported by epidemiologic, mechanistic, and clinical evidence. However, clinical care often remains fragmented between ear, nose, and throat (ENT), allergy, and pulmonology.

Understanding the Type 2 Immunity: An Evolving View Beyond Allergic Diseases
ABSTRACT Type 2 (T2) immunity is classically associated with defense against helminths and environmental threats, from a physiological perspective, and with allergies and eosinophilic inflammatory diseases, in a pathological sense.

Elevated CO2 (hypercapnia) is a feature of serious lung diseases, for example COPD and contributes to poor patient prognosis through modulation of immune cell function. Here we employ state‐of‐the art metabolomic and isotope tracing approaches to reveal CO2‐dependent mitochondrial alterations linked to suppressed ATP, proline and glutamate levels in ...
