A beautiful editorial by the great Francesca Polverino and MeiLan Han on why we need to study the airways of #COPD rather than the blood (which is useless in identifying biomarkers for COPD) bit.ly/3EvEwrX

What is type 2 airway inflammation in #COPD? Here, we perform bronchoscopy and endophenotype patients and show that pts with increased BAL #eosinophils respond to #ICS. Using blood #eos is useless. bit.ly/3Wvyw8v

really nice work in mice showing the regulatory role that NAMs (nerve and airway macrophages) play in controlling the inflammatory process related to #SarsCov2

“HEALTHIER” VAPES? MORE LIKE TOXIC AIR FRESHENERS U-cigarettes were hyped as the smarter, safer vape. Scientists just found they might be more dangerous than the old ones. Instead of using heat, these gadgets blast liquid with sound waves, but they still managed to pump
