Hedgehog Interacting Protein (HHIP) Represses Airway Remodeling and Metabolic Reprogramming in COPD-Derived Airway Smooth Muscle Cells

Researchers suggest that HHIP repressed aerobic glycolysis and airway smooth muscle cells hyperplasia, which might contribute to the increased airway remodeling in Hhip+/- mice.

Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Chronic Lung Disease

The authors provide a broad overview of the roles of extracellular vesicles (EV) in chronic respiratory disease. Recent advances in profiling EVs have shown their potential as biomarker candidates. Further studies have provided insight into their disease pathology, particularly in inflammatory processes across a spectrum of lung diseases.

Olodaterol Exerts Anti-inflammatory Effects on COPD Airway Epithelial Cells

Human bronchial epithelial brushing from patients with and without COPD were cultured into air–liquid interface cultures and treated with or without olodaterol and respiratory syncytial virus infection to examine the effect on markers of inflammation including interleukin-8 and mucus secretion.
