Abstract: Background: The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) among smokers and never-smokers is increasing, and is considered to be less harmful than cigarettes. However, this has not been studied in target organs for smoking-related diseases, especially… read more here.

Abstract: Background Circulating biomarkers for lung damage are lacking. Lung epithelium-specific DNA methylation patterns can potentially report the presence of lung-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in blood, as an indication of lung cell death. Methods We sorted… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.01955
Abstract: Aspergillus fumigatus is the most important mould pathogen in immunosuppressed patients. Suboptimal clearance of inhaled spores results in the colonisation of the lung airways by invasive hyphae. The first point of contact between A. fumigatus… read more here.
