Resolving Endoplasmic Reticulum‐Protein Misfolding Restores Corticosteroid Sensitivity in Experimental Models of Severe Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the role of ER stress in steroid resistance in severe asthma. Results from advanced 3D models of human bronchial epithelial cells, steroid‐resistant severe asthma mouse models, and human severe asthma sputum samples show that treatment with ICS in combination with the ER stress inhibitor 4‐PBA significantly enhances steroid ...

Utility of a Pulmonary TB diagnostic Algorithm to Guide Testing and Airborne Infection Isolation

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology
Background: Patients with suspected pulmonary TB tuberculosis (PTB) often require scarce airborne isolation rooms; minimizing use depends on clinician understanding of sputum and bronchoscopic test characteristics.

TNF Pathway‐Mediated Tolerogenic T‐Cell Trajectory Driven by Allergen Immunotherapy

Allergy, EarlyView.
The study shows that AIT re‐establishes local immune equilibrium by restoring Th17/Treg balance, while circulating Th17 cells remain functionally impaired. The transition from pro‐inflammatory Th17 to regulatory T cell states during AIT identifies Tr17 cells as an intermediate cell population.

Comprehensive Quantification of Oligoasthenozoospermia Induced by Obesity, Reproductive Toxicants, and Their Combination in Rat Models

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oligoasthenozoospermia is a leading cause of male infertility and has been increasingly associated with the global surge in obesity and exposure to reproductive toxicants. Despite extensive research on each factor individually, their combined pathological effects remain poorly understood.

Induced sputum cellularity. Reference values and distribution in normal volunteers. [PDF]

, 2000
Sputum induction has recently been proposed as the only direct noninvasive method for measuring airway inflammatory indices. The reference values and the distribution of cells in induced sputum in a control population have not yet been well defined.

The diagnosis and treatment of elderly patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic bronchitis. [PDF]

, 2010
The syndrome of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) consists of chronic bronchitis (CB), bronchiectasis, emphysema, and reversible airway disease that combine uniquely in an individual patient.

ITGA5 as a Dual Regulator of Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition and Epithelial Cell Anoikis Resistance: Functional Validation and Drug Prediction

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Proteomics and functional validation reveal ITGA5 as a dual promoter of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition and anoikis resistance in human bronchial epithelium: targeting ITGA5 represents a novel therapeutic strategy for asthma airway remodelling. ABSTRACT Airway remodelling is a major contributor to persistent airflow limitation and irreversible lung ...

An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...

Defining the tumor microenvironment of non‐small cell lung cancer

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
The tumor microenvironment (TME) in non‐small cell lung cancer is highly heterogeneous, both at a patient level and tumor microenvironment resolution. Defining the tumor microenvironment from patient‐responders and non‐responders will aid in the development of targeted therapeutics specific for each individual patient.
