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.
Explore the metabolic changes in COPD patients, highlighting the influence of aging and sex, with pronounced effects in males. Discover how COPD affects protein metabolism and energy production, emphasizing early aging’s impact.
The relationship between airflow limitation severity and DNA methylation in COPD patients. Findings reveal CpGs with opposite associations in blood and lung tissues, highlighting distinct regulatory mechanisms.
Explore how the treatable traits approach can be applied to pre-COPD, potentially preventing full disease development. Learn about GETomics and its role in understanding pre-COPD through gene-environment interactions.
Discover the distinct patterns of epigenetic age acceleration in COPD patients. Our study reveals significant associations between airflow limitation severity and biological age in blood, highlighting different aging biomarkers in lung tissue.
La TM (telemedicina) podría ayudar en el tratamiento de la EPOC, pero aún queda un largo camino para poder implantar un sistema seguro a nivel nacional.
