Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study aims to evaluate the impact of the potassium channel KCNJ2 on asthma development. KCNJ2 promotes NLRP3 inflammasome activation through both Ca2+ influx and K+ efflux in airway epithelial cells, which drives allergic airway inflammation and remodeling, suggesting a promising therapeutic target for asthma.

Intraoperative bronchial stump air leak control by Progel® application after pulmonary lobectomy [PDF]
, 2015 Diffuse tracheobronchial calcification is a physiological condition associated with advanced age, especially in women. A calcified bronchus can be fractured during major lung resections (lobectomy, bilobectomy, and pneumonectomy), exposing patients to ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Cer24:1 levels are reduced in neutrophilic asthma and inversely correlate with disease severity and airway neutrophilia. Restoring Cer24:1 suppresses pathogenic Th17 differentiation by engaging EP2 on CD4+ T cells, thereby dampening the JAK2–STAT3–RORγt axis and reducing IL‐17 production.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study designs a targeted nanocomposite (ct@HMCF‐Dex) that responds to acidic infection microenvironments, releasing components which amplify oxidative stress. It disrupts bacterial redox balance, chelates metals to sustain lipid peroxidation, and synergistically induces cuproptosis/ferroptosis‐like death.
