Rab46: a novel player in mast cell function

This study identifies Rab46 as a key regulator of stimulus-dependent degranulation in mast cells, showing its expression and functional impact in human and murine cells.

In vitro culture of aberrant basal-like cells from fibrotic lung tissue

The paper cultures and characterizes aberrant basal-like cells from fibrotic lung tissue, finding they co-express epithelial and mesenchymal markers and show disease-specific transcriptomic differences between IPF and other ILD patients.

Excessive ENaC-mediated sodium influx drives NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent autoinflammation in Cystic Fibrosis

This study shows that excessive ENaC-mediated sodium influx drives NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent autoinflammation in Cystic Fibrosis, with potential therapeutic implications for lung inflammation.
