The Changing Transplant Landscape in the Era of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor: A Word of Caution
ABSTRACT Background Elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) has dramatically changed the landscape of cystic fibrosis (CF) care, including in those who require lung transplantation. The objectives of the study were to describe the cohort demographics and outcomes of primary lung transplant recipients before and after the availability of ETI.

Cigarette exposure can induce the senescence of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). The accumulation of naphthalene metabolites, namely 1,2‐dihydronaphthalene and 1,2‐naphthoquinone, in rats is a key factor in this process. In ARPE‐19 cells, the plasma of rats exposed to cigarette smoke can cause a significant increase in the level of reactive oxygen ...
