MetaNeb Versus Usual Care During Exacerbations of Cystic Fibrosis: An RCT
In adults with cystic fibrosis who were hospitalised with an exacerbation, twice daily MetaNeb produced greater improvements in ventilation inhomogeneity compared to twice daily usual airway clearance techniques. There were no between‐group differences shown for other outcomes, including respiratory symptoms.

Nucleotide‐Binding Oligomerization Domain 2 in Signaling, Immunity, and Mycobacterial Infection
NOD2 is a cytoplasmic receptor that detects bacterial components and plays key roles in immune surveillance, but it also has diverse noncanonical immunomodulatory functions beyond pathogen recognition. This review explores NOD2's activation mechanisms, classical and nonclassical immune roles, and its impact on mycobacterial defense, highlighting the ...
