Mashup Score: 4
Drug discovery and development in systemic sclerosis–associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) has expanded in recent years. Since the publication of the first NHLBI-sponsored randomized controlled trial for SSc-ILD in 2006 (Scleroderma Lung Study [SLS] I [1]), two products have received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of SSc-ILD—an antifibrotic agent (nintedanib) and a biologic agent (tocilizumab) (2, 3)—and several products are under investigation in phase II and

Mashup Score: 3
Welcome to this special issue of the Journal focused on interstitial lung disease (ILD). Since this special issue was announced, we have been overwhelmed by the depth and quality of submissions we have received. The number of manuscripts we ended up accepting exceeded expectation to such an extent that we are now planning a second ILD special issue later this year. We are extremely grateful to the ILD community for showing such enthusiastic support of the Journal. The task of considering which manuscripts

Mashup Score: 0The Fats and the Furious: Unraveling the Role of Macrophage Lipid Metabolism in Sarcoidosis - 6 day(s) ago
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease characterized by granuloma formation and inflammation (1). Clinical presentation ranges from a mild, self-limited form to a severe, multiorgan disease with significant morbidity. The underlying pathology is not yet elucidated but is postulated to involve an abnormal immune response to antigens in susceptible individuals (1). The proinflammatory cascade that results in granuloma formation is complex; however, aggregating macrophages play an important role in the

Mashup Score: 1The American Thoracic Society Research Program: Twenty Years of Driving Discovery in Respiratory Medicine - 7 day(s) ago
The American Thoracic Society (ATS) is a professional medical society with origins in the early 1900 s whose main mission is to accelerate global innovation in the advancement of respiratory health through multidisciplinary collaboration, education, and advocacy. A major component of its mission is to promote scientific discovery through research in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep disorders. To advance discovery, the organization established the ATS Research Program (ATSRP) in 2004. Since then, the

Mashup Score: 4
Precise, early detection of microscopic alterations in interstitial lung disease (ILD) is essential for early diagnosis, as well as to inform prognosis and support therapeutic decision making (1 – 3). Unfortunately, resolution limitations of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) make the detection and monitoring of microscopic disease challenging (4). Surgical lung biopsy (SLB) has high risks of associated morbidity and mortality, necessitating a cautious approach for diagnosis and prohibiting use

Mashup Score: 4Erratum: A Polygenic Risk Score for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Interstitial Lung Abnormalities - 9 day(s) ago
It has recently come to the authors’ attention that sex had been incorrectly assigned to a small proportion of subjects in the Denver, Colorado cohort that was a part of the article by Moll and colleagues, published in the October 1, 2023, issue of the Journal (1). Specifically, the corrected data resulted in a change of the sex variable for 66 out of 1,694 cases included in the data from Denver. Since some of the analyses adjusted for sex, this change resulted in minimal changes to some of the statistics
