Dysanapsis, the mismatch between airway tree caliber and lung volume, is suggested by computed tomography (CT) imaging or inferred by spirometry showing a reduced ratio of FEV 1 to FVC with normal FEV 1 and increased FVC in healthy individuals. Dysanaptic growth was initially termed by Green and colleagues in 1974 to describe disproportionate growth of airway caliber and lung size leading to normal variations in maximal expiratory flows (1). As we increasingly recognize the role of early lung development

Mashup Score: 17Breaking up Mucus Plugs in Asthma - 6 day(s) ago
Mucus plugs lead to bad outcomes in asthma. In fatal asthma, mucus plugs occlude airways, blocking gas exchange to cause asphyxia and death (1, 2). In exacerbations, mucus plugs occlude major airways and contribute to air trapping, atelectasis, and treatment unresponsiveness (3). These severe consequences reflect the profound impact of mucus plugs in asthma and the need for treatment advances. The identification of phenotypic and endotypic characteristics of populations with asthma who are at risk for

Mashup Score: 6The Road Less Traveled: Slow but Steady Progress Toward Cystic Fibrosis Gene Therapy by the UK Respiratory Gene Therapy Consortium - 6 day(s) ago
In the United States and Europe, late preclinical and clinical stages of gene therapy product development have historically depended on funding from investor-backed biopharmaceutical companies. Initial proof-of-concept studies for putative investigational new drugs are often completed in academia, but these institutions typically lack the resources that are required for the preclinical investigational new drug–enabling pharmacology-toxicology studies, current good manufacturing practice manufacturing of
