The paper identifies transcriptional and methylation signatures in umbilical cord blood linked to BPD risk in preterm infants.

The paper identifies profibrotic monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages as a biomarker and therapeutic target in SSc-ILD by analyzing BAL fluid and lung explants.

This paper introduces RREM-seq, an enzyme-based reduced representation DNA methylation sequencing method that enables high-resolution profiling of low-input samples, including clinical specimens.

The paper examines alveolar T cell responses in SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia patients, finding that early interferon signaling and targeting of structural proteins correlate with better clinical outcomes.

The paper shows that prolonged exposure to lung-derived cytokines in COVID-19 patients activates microglia, and corticosteroids reduce this inflammatory response.
