This study investigates telomere length (TL) in bronchiectasis patients, comparing them to COPD patients and healthy controls. Findings show no significant TL reduction in bronchiectasis compared to controls, but a trend towards shorter TL in idiopathic cases. Further research is needed to understand TL’s role in bronchiectasis.
Explore the complex pathophysiology of bronchiectasis, including airway infection, chronic inflammation, and mucociliary dysfunction. Learn how genomic approaches, proteomics, and epigenomics offer new insights into disease endotypes and patient stratification for improved therapies. Discover the role of trained innate immunity in complementing current models.
Aspergillus-associated disorders in bronchiectasis, based on data from the EMBARC Registry. ABPA, AS, and AB: Impact on disease severity, diagnostic criteria efficacy, etc.
Marked differences in peripheral blood immune cell gene expression were observed between bronchiectasis patients and healthy controls.
Transcriptomic changes were associated with disease severity and airway inflammation identifying potential novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
The COPD Foundation is kicking off its 20th anniversary year with exciting news! Bronchiectasis and NTM 360, a division of the COPD Foundation, is thrilled to announce its journey to establish a Bronchiectasis and NTM Care Center Network.
Approximately 25% and 65% of patients hospitalized for an ECOPD die within 1 and 5 years, respectively.
