Lung fibrosis is a major concern in severe COVID-19 patients undergoing mechanical ventilation (MV). Lung fibrosis frequency in post-COVID syndrome is highly variable and even if the risk is proportionally sma...
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic fatal disease with limited therapeutic options. The infiltration of monocytes and fibroblasts into the injured lungs is implicated in IPF. Enolase-1 (ENO1) is a...
Mediastinal lymph node enlargement is prevalent in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Studies investigating whether this phenomenon reflects specific immunologic activation are lacking.
Several risk factors for Coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) disease have been highlighted in clinical evidence. Among the various risk factors are advanced age, metabolic illness such as diabetes, heart disease, and ...
Ferroptosis is a type of regulated cell death characterized by iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation. The molecular mechanisms underlying ferroptosis regulation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are poo...
Lung cancer represents a significant public health issue in China, given its high incidence and mortality rates. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been recently proposed to participate in the development and progr...
Objective cough frequency has been reported in several respiratory conditions but the amount that healthy individuals cough daily is unclear. Seventy-nine healthy volunteers (38 males, median [IQR] age 41y [IQ...
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has beneficial effects on pulmonary hemodynamics, exercise capacity, and quality of life (QOL) in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Recent...
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) represent the major causes of mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Patients with systemic sclerosis and combined PH and ILD (SSc-PH-ILD) genera...
SARS-CoV-2, the agent responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, enters cells through viral spike glycoprotein binding to the cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Given the lack of effective ...
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) may be difficult to distinguish from other respiratory diseases due to overlapping clinical presentation. Recognition of ILD is often late, causing delay which has been associat...
Right heart failure (RHF) is a complication of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and increases the mortality independently of the underlying disease. However, the process of RHF development and progression is not fu...
Allergic asthma is a common respiratory disease that significantly impacts human health. Through in silico analysis of human lung RNASeq, we found that asthmatic lungs display lower levels of Isthmin-1 (ISM1) ...
Forced vital capacity (FVC) reflects respiratory health, but the long-term trend and heterogeneity in FVC of Chinese students were understudied.
Airway tuft cells, formerly called brush cells have long been described only morphologically in human airways. More recent RNAseq studies described a chemosensory cell population, which includes tuft cells, by...
