Delighted to see our recent EndMT work in smokers, patients with small #airway disease and early #COPD highlighted on ERJ Open’s front page. Thanks very much ERS publications 🤗 @bhprem86 Monica (Wenying) Lu Mathew Suji Eapen Surajit Dey Affan Shahzad Archana Gaikwad bit.ly/49TtZBZ

Thank you ERS publications for sharing this work.

Pleased to share our work and many congratulations Archana Gaikwad Sukhwinder Singh Sohal 🫁 and RTRG team.

Mast cells in smokers and patients with small airway disease and COPD may be associated with airway wall changes and impaired lung function, indicating an active role in maintaining normal tissue homeostasis and, indirectly, in airway architecture bit.ly/3vKxxab

Airway wall lamina propria in patients with Asthma-COPD Overlap (ACO) is hypo-vascular with increase in reticular basement membrane neo-angiogenesis, reflecting smoking-related COPD like pathology and EMT. openres.ersjournals.com/content/early/…

Many Congratulations Romy👏well deserved !!

Do not agree with EMT in asthma, no human tissue evidence, in fact negative with no core tissue structural Rbm fragmentation as key to EMT. Evidence is more in vitro in asthma (produced). EMT is central to COPD as evident from empiric human tissue work & further confirmed 😊

Delighted to see our recent work on differential expression of mast cells in smokers, patients with small #airway disease and early #COPD highlighted on ERJ Open’s front page. Thanks very much ERS publications openres.ersjournals.com/content/10/2/0… Mathew Suji Eapen Monica (Wenying) Lu Respiratory Translational Research Group

It is an exciting news for all interested in slowing or arresting pre-COPD changes

Many congratulations Romy👏

Large airway wall lamina propria in patients with asthma–COPD overlap is hypovascular with an increase in reticular basement membrane neoangiogenesis, reflecting smoking-related COPD-like pathology and potential epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition bit.ly/49DeoFX Surajit Dey

Thanks to you Sukhwinder Singh Sohal 🫁 and the entire team Respiratory Translational Research Group Monica (Wenying) Lu Mathew Suji Eapen for your guidance and support throughout my PhD journey🙏 . Cheers🎉

Recent work from our research group reporting endothelial TGFβ1, pSMAD2/3, SAMD7 and β-catenin in pulmonary arteries from smokers and COPD informing EndMT. Endothelial SMAD pathway is independent of TGF-β1 in smokers and COPD. portlandpress.com/clinsci/articl… Prem Bhattarai Monica (Wenying) Lu

Thank you Sukhwinder Singh Sohal 🫁 and Respiratory Translational Research Group for your support and contribution to this significant finding.Monica (Wenying) Lu Mathew Suji Eapen d

Pleased to share our recent publication presenting World Health Organization (WHO) #Tobacco Knowledge Summary on #COPD. It has been a great pleasure working with WHO team, colleagues from ERS , American Thoracic Society (ATS), TSANZ , GOLD, Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), and Asian Pacific Society of Respirology Monica (Wenying) Lu respiratory-research.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Nice to see our recent work making to cover of the Clinical Science! Very thankful to the Journal and Editors for recognizing the importance of this work in #COPD - portlandpress.com/clinsci/articl…

In this Respiratory Translational Research Group research article, Bhattarai et al. investigate the roles of drivers of endothelial to mesenchymal transition, uncovering an active endothelial SMAD pathway, independent of TGF-β1 in smokers, SAD, and COPD patients. #ClinSci #Smoking doi.org/10.1042/CS2024…

Congrats to our own Dr Sukhwinder Sohal Sukhwinder Singh Sohal 🫁 who was recognised at the recent European Respiratory Society Congress for his extensive research work into lung health. Dr Sohal was joined by Dr Monica Lu Monica (Wenying) Lu who presented three papers at the Congress 👏

Sharing some insights in the ATS Blue Journal from our recent work on vascular / arterial pruning in smokers, and patients with early COPD. Similar pathology was evident in asthma-COPD overlap patients. EndMT seems central to destructive vascular pathology. atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…
