    Neuroendocrine Cells Initiate Protective Upper Airway Reflexes

    Scientists showed that murine neuroendocrine cells in the healthy lung, trachea, and larynx had distinct biophysical properties but shared sensitivity to two commonly aspirated noxious stimuli, water, and acid.

    Lytic Bacteriophages Induce the Secretion of Antiviral and Proinflammatory Cytokines from Human Respiratory Epithelial Cells

    Using a panel of Pseudomonas aeruginosa phages and human airway epithelial cells derived from a person with cystic fibrosis, the authors determined that interactions between phages and epithelial cells depend on specific phage properties as well as physiochemical features of the microenvironment.

    Burn Pit Smoke Condensate-Mediated Toxicity in Human Airway Epithelial Cells

    Researchers explored the effects of burn pit smoke condensates on human airway epithelial cells (HAECs) to understand their impact on cellular targets in the human lung. HAECs were cultured at the air–liquid interface and exposed to burn pit waste smoke condensates.

    Pirin Promotes the Progression of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer by Increasing ODC1 to Suppress Autophagy

    Investigators found that pirin was upregulated in NSCLC, and its expression was positively correlated with poor prognosis. Overexpression of pirin inhibited autophagy and promoted NSCLC proliferation.

    Development of m6A/m5C/m1A Regulated lncRNA Signature for Prognostic Prediction, Personalized Immune Intervention, and Drug Selection in LUAD

    The authors focused on 33 genes that were regulated by m6A, m5C, or m1A (mRG), which were used to form mRG clusters and clusters of mRG differentially expressed genes clusters.

    Discovery of Gefitinib-1,2, 3-Triazole Derivatives against Lung Cancer via Inducing Apoptosis and Inhibiting the Colony Formation

    A series of 20 novel gefitinib derivatives incorporating the 1,2,3-triazole moiety were designed and synthesized. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their potential anticancer activity against epidermal growth factor receptor wild-type human NSCLC cells and human lung adenocarcinoma cells.

    Interstitial Lung Disease

    Interstitial lung disease consists of a group of pulmonary disorders characterized by inflammation and/or fibrosis of the lung parenchyma associated with progressive dyspnea that frequently results in end-stage respiratory failure.
