Discover the first study designed to analyze the impact of EVLP on the lung microbiome and the local inflammatory response. Understanding the composition, diversity, and functional interactions of the pulmonary microbiome in lung transplants holds promise for personalized respiratory medicine.
Discover how cellular senescence, marked by antagonistic pleiotropy, and immune dysregulation play a detrimental role in the pathogenesis of fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (f-ILDs) and pulmonary fibrosis.
This study shows that patients with f-ILDs several immune populations in circulating blood, skewed toward an aged and exhausted immune profile, relate to lung function impairment at diagnosis, and that PPF is associated with an increased cytotoxic immune response.
