| Researchers showed that cigarette smoke diminished milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) protein levels but had no significant effect on its mRNA levels in the lung tissues of humans and mice and in two human bronchial epithelial cell lines. [Cell Death & Disease] |

|
| Investigators proposed a strategy that used endothelial targeting DNA nanostructures to deliver Atg101 siRNA as a safe, biocompatible “band-aid” to restore pulmonary arterial endothelial barrier integrity within the intricate milieu of pulmonary cells and the pulmonary vasculature. [Nanoscale Horizons] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the roles and interrelationships of the IGF1/IGF1R signaling, ROS generation, AKT/GSK3β signaling, and NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling in coal dust-nanoparticles-induced pulmonary fibrosis (CD-NPs-induced PF), thereby elucidating the potential mechanism of CD-NPs-induced PF. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Scientists showed that global Gasdermin D knockout (GSDMD-KO) protected against hyperoxia-induced bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) by reducing macrophage infiltration, improving alveolarization and vascular development, and decreasing cell death. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the role and function of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in bacterial-host-stress response through representative in vitro models. They sampled VOCs from the headspace of A549 cells at an air–liquid interface. [Analyst] |
| |
|
|
| Researchers discovered that 4E binding protein 1 (4EBP1) could regulate cancer cell death under glucose deprivation conditions, elucidating a key role for 4EBP1 to regulate cell viability in response to glucose starvation conditions, which differed from its translational repression function. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Investigators developed an effective and safe strategy targeting anti-apoptotic proteins with DT2216, a platelet-sparing BCL-XL degrader, and AZD8055, an mTOR inhibitor, to avoid associated on-target toxicities while synergistically optimizing tumor response. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Scientists evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibition in combination with ionizing radiation for lung cancer. [International Journal Of Radiation Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers evaluated the roles of miR-138-5p in lung cancer progression and the value of miR-138-5p in lung cancer diagnosis. [Thoracic Cancer] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors summarize the effects of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α on the vasculature, metabolism, inflammation, and apoptosis in the lungs and review the role of HIFs in direct lung injuries, including lung contusion, acid aspiration, pneumonia, and COVID-19. [Inflammation] |

|
| Foundation Medicine, Inc. announced the US FDA approved FoundationOne® Liquid CDx to be used as a companion diagnostic to identify patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC, or patients with NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors that may be appropriate for treatment with Rozlytrek.
