Sex Differences in Muscle–Respiratory Function Relationship in Lung Transplant Patients: A Longitudinal Study

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Lung transplant recipients are at increased risk of sarcopenia and osteoporosis, which may negatively influence respiratory outcomes. Although muscle health is known to affect lung function, little is known about the long‐term interplay between muscle parameters and pulmonary volumes, especially across sexes.

3D Automated Segmentation of Bronchial Abnormalities on Ultrashort Echo Time MRI: A Quantitative MR Outcome in Cystic Fibrosis

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 1190-1200, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) monitoring relies on computed tomography (CT), but ultra‐short echo time MRI (UTE‐MRI) offers a radiation‐free alternative. However, its clinical adoption is hindered by the laborious and subjective manual analysis, which prevents standardized quantification of bronchial abnormalities.

Propulsion in a viscoelastic fluid

, 2007
Flagella beating in complex fluids are significantly influenced by viscoelastic stresses. Relevant examples include the ciliary transport of respiratory airway mucus and the motion of spermatozoa in the mucus-filled female reproductive tract. We consider

The Diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia: Putting The European Respiratory/American Thoracic Guideline Into Practice

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare inherited disease which is characterised by progressive lung disease, chronic rhinosinusitis, repeated middle ear infections, laterality defects, and reduced fertility. An early diagnosis is critical to reduce morbidity, however diagnosis is often delayed due to the heterogeneity in clinical ...

Characterizing airway epithelial cultures grown on permeable inserts with different pore densities

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, April 2026.
Abstract In vitro airway epithelial models, such as air‐liquid interface (ALI) cultures, are widely used for disease modeling, therapeutic and toxicology testing, and studying epithelial‐environmental interactions. However, it remains unknown whether the pore density of the permeable membrane inserts, on which primary human bronchial epithelial cells ...
