Delighted to see our recent EndMT work in smokers, patients with small #airway disease and early #COPD highlighted on ERJ Open’s front page. Thanks very much ERS publications 🤗 @bhprem86 Monica (Wenying) Lu Mathew Suji Eapen Surajit Dey Affan Shahzad Archana Gaikwad bit.ly/49TtZBZ

Pleased to share recent work from our research group reporting TGF-β1, pSmad-2/3, Smad-7, and β-Catenin signalling pathways in the pulmonary arteries from patients IPF and their potential role in driving EndMT. Link to paper - mdpi.com/2077-0383/13/4…

ERJOR: Mast cells in smokers and patients with small airway disease and COPD may be associated with airway wall changes and impaired lung function, indicating an active role in maintaining normal tissue homeostasis and, indirectly, in airway architecture bit.ly/3vKxxab

Well done to our honours student Affan Shahzad providing evidence that PAFR and ICAM-1 are upregulated in the lungs of patients with IPF. These may act as adhesion molecules exacerbating microbial pathogenesis. Monica (Wenying) Lu JCM MDPI vedia zhang Paper - mdpi.com/2077-0383/13/7…

Well done Respiratory Translational Research Group. Great work in the realm of uncovering the secrets of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. 🫁 🔬

Do not agree with EMT in asthma, no human tissue evidence, in fact negative with no core tissue structural Rbm fragmentation as key to EMT. Evidence is more in vitro in asthma (produced). EMT is central to COPD as evident from empiric human tissue work & further confirmed 😊

Well done Monica (Wenying) Lu - presenting ICAM-1 and PAFR paper on IPF at the #ERS2024 ERS

Nice to see our recent work making to cover of the Clinical Science! Very thankful to the Journal and Editors for recognizing the importance of this work in #COPD - portlandpress.com/clinsci/articl…

Well done to our postdoc Monica (Wenying) Lu reporting novel findings of adipose tissue deposition in IPF lungs and its association with respiratory lung function parameters. Adipose tissue deposition was independent of BMI suggesting other mechanisms at play. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
