This study uses patient-derived iSMCs to uncover new mechanisms of PAH and sotatercept's effects beyond its known anti-proliferative actions.

This paper introduces a high-throughput mucus microrheology platform using Differential Dynamic Microscopy to quantify mucus properties across various conditions and applications.

This study shows human airway organoids can effectively model BSL-4 virus replication and pathogenesis, offering a safe and relevant alternative to animal models.

The paper compares mucociliary clearance in human and rat airways, finding species-specific structural differences that affect clearance effectiveness and identifying limitations of lab-grown cultures.

This paper shows NRF2 activators inhibit coronaviruses by downregulating ACE2, TMPRSS2, and XPO1, independent of NRF2 signaling.
