The paper shows that age-related STAT3 signaling impairment in neonatal bronchial epithelial cells increases RSV infection severity, while SARS-CoV-2 is unaffected by age.

This study shows that overactivated NF-κB disrupts lung development in CDH and that dexamethasone or curcumenol can rescue lung hypoplasia by normalizing NF-κB signaling.

This study develops a human airway basal cell model from tracheal aspirates to investigate epithelial defects in congenital diaphragmatic hernia, finding a pro-inflammatory signature and therapeutic response to steroids.
