Obesity and lung function [PDF]

Thorax, 2001
The paper by Schachter et al 1 in the January 2001 issue of Thorax is interesting in that it has a number of unusual and, it is suggested, inexplicable findings that appertain to various indices of ventilatory capacity. With all due deference, we would suggest that there is an explanation for these unusual findings.

Functional imaging in lung cancer [PDF]

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, 2013
SummaryLung cancer represents an increasingly frequent cancer diagnosis worldwide. An increasing awareness on smoking cessation as an important mean to reduce lung cancer incidence and mortality, an increasing number of therapy options and a steady focus on early diagnosis and adequate staging have resulted in a modestly improved survival.

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

Distinct phenotype and risk factor analysis of persistent airflow limitation among asthmatic children: a case-control study

BMC Pediatrics
Background Persistent airflow limitation (PAL) in childhood asthma is associated with a poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to categorize asthmatic children with PAL into distinct phenotypes and investigate the risk factors associated with each ...

Genome-wide association analyses for lung function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease identify new loci and potential druggable targets

Nature Genetics, 2017
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by reduced lung function and is the third leading cause of death globally. Through genome-wide association discovery in 48,943 individuals, selected from extremes of the lung function ...

Leveraging current insights on IL‐10‐producing dendritic cells for developing effective immunotherapeutic approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/
