ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal fibrotic lung disease characterized by aberrant myofibroblast activation and excessive extracellular matrix deposition, with extracellular vesicles (EVs) playing a crucial role in this pathological process. We observed that EVs levels are significantly elevated in IPF and positively correlate with

Abstract HTLV‐1 is a retrovirus associated with adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and inflammatory diseases, including HTLV‐1‐associated myelopathy (HAM) and HTLV‐1‐associated bronchopneumonopathy (HAB). Although pulmonary complications are common in HTLV‐1‐associated diseases, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Alveolar Extracellular Vesicles May Protect Some Patients With Chronic Aspiration From Pneumonia
A subset of patients with chronic aspiration appear to be relatively protected against pneumonias. This prospective observational study examines the alveolar fluid of patients with chronic aspiration with and without pneumonia. We found relatively little difference in classical cytokine levels but a difference in both the level and protein composition ...

This study demonstrates that emestrin‐type ETPs suppress GSDMD‐mediated pyroptosis through caspase‐3/7 activation, thereby attenuating inflammatory responses and conferring protection against sepsis. In THP‐1 macrophages, ETPs significantly reduced pyroptosis and secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines IL‐1β and IL‐18.

Wnt Signaling Pathway: Biological Function, Diseases, and Therapeutic Interventions
The Wnt signaling pathway is essential for development and tissue homeostasis, while its dysregulation drives diverse diseases. This review systematically outlines its components, functions, regulators, and preclinical models, highlighting secreted frizzled‐related proteins (SFRPs) as context‐dependent, biphasic modulators.
