Modeling Progressive Fibrosis with Pluripotent Stem Cells Identifies an Anti-fibrotic Small Molecule. [PDF]

, 2019
Progressive organ fibrosis accounts for one-third of all deaths worldwide, yet preclinical models that mimic the complex, progressive nature of the disease are lacking, and hence, there are no curative therapies. Progressive fibrosis across organs shares

Ventilation Imaging of the Lung at 0.55T With Continuous Slice Cycling

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To propose and evaluate a novel method for pulmonary ventilation imaging, offering considerably improved SNR. Methods A continuous slice cycling (CSC) acquisition scheme is proposed to exclusively capture signal modulations from respiratory motion with increased SNR.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response in lung diseases: molecular pathways and therapeutic interventions

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) occurs when the protein‐folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is overwhelmed, triggering the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore homeostasis. However, severe or persistent ERS can shift the UPR toward pro‐inflammatory, apoptotic, and fibrotic signaling, thereby exacerbating tissue injury ...

Targeting fibrosis in the treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a widely prevalent age‐associated disease that is the main contributor to lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in aging men. Although prostate fibrosis has been recognized as a contributor to BPH pathophysiology, there are not any clinically available therapeutics that target this aspect of disease ...

Urinary Collagen Peptides Predict Mortality

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organ fibrosis caused by the presence of excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) is related to mortality. Urinary peptide signatures were reported to be predictive of death in SARS‐CoV‐2 and chronic kidney disease. Such signatures were composed for 68% of collagen fragments.

Breaking the invisible cage: social isolation and coping strategies among patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive disease that profoundly impacts patients’ psychosocial well-being. Social isolation is a significant but often overlooked challenge in this population.

Rehabilitation needs of long COVID patients in British Columbia

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction COVID‐19 can result in persistent symptoms and functional impairment that significantly impact daily functioning, highlighting the need for targeted rehabilitation. However, there is a lack of data on what proportion of long COVID patients need rehabilitation and which types are required.

The Role of Polyphenols in Respiratory and Gut Health: From the Perspective of Gut‐Lung Axis

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut‐lung axis constitutes a dynamic, multidirectional communication platform between the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Its complexity arises from the integrated crosstalk among the microbiota, immune system, and redox homeostasis, collectively influencing disease susceptibility and progression.

Adult male patients with DKC1 mutations present early-onset pulmonary fibrosis and severe prognosis

ERJ Open Research
Background Mutations in telomere-related genes (TRGs) are the main cause of monogenic familial pulmonary fibrosis. Dyskerin, encoded by the X-localised gene DKC1, is involved in telomere maintenance.
