    Investigating the Role of Platelets and Platelet-Derived Transforming Growth Factor-β in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

    Researchers investigated whether platelets, specifically platelet-derived transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1), mediated idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) disease progression. IPF and non-IPF patients were recruited to determine platelet reactivity and separate cohorts of IPF patients were followed for mortality.

    Nebulized Caffeine Alleviates Airway Hyperresponsiveness in a Murine Asthma Model

    Investigators found that mice that received aerosolized caffeine had statistically significant decreases in maximum airway resistance, as well as significant delays in the time required to reach maximum resistance compared with controls.

    Extracellular Vesicles from BALF of Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis and Asthma Patients Increase Epithelial Sodium Channel Activity in Small Airway Epithelial Cells

    Scientists tested the hypothesis that extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from the bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid of pediatric cystic fibrosis or pediatric asthma patients increased epithelial sodium channel activity in normal human small airway epithelial cells, and whether the mechanism involved specific EV lipids.

    Aerosol Delivery of a Novel Recombinant Modified Superoxide Dismutase Protein Reduces Oxidant Injury and Attenuates Escherichia coli Induced Lung Injury in Rats

    Researchers investigated the therapeutic potential of a novel recombinant human Cu-Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) fusion protein in protecting against reactive oxygen species injury and for aerosolized SOD delivery to treat Escherichia coli induced acute respiratory distress syndrome.

    Somatic Rearrangements Causing Oncogenic Ectodomain Deletions of FGFR1 in Squamous Cell Lung Cancer

    To understand the mechanism of FGFR1 dependency, investigators performed deep genomic characterization of 52 squamous cell lung carcinomas with 8p11-p12-amplification, including 10 tumors obtained from patients who had been treated with FGFR inhibitors.
