Epigenetic Dysregulation of the NKX2‐1/SPDEF Axis Drives Persistent Goblet Cell Differentiation and Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

open access: yesRespirology, EarlyView.
This study investigated airway epithelial barrier dysfunction persistence in ex‐smokers with COPD and underlying mechanisms using single‐cell RNA and ATAC sequencing. Epigenetic NKX2‐1/SPDEF dysregulation maintains goblet cell hyperplasia and barrier dysfunction despite long‐term smoking cessation.

Body Composition and Muscle Function in Bronchiectasis: A Comparative Longitudinal Study

open access: yesRespirology, EarlyView.
We compared body composition and muscle function in adults with bronchiectasis versus controls and assessed if leg strength estimates 1‐year outcomes. Patients with bronchiectasis had lower muscle mass, bone density, and leg strength. Reduced leg strength is associated with worse dyspnoea, quality of life, and functional capacity, highlighting the need
