Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a major complication of thoracic radiotherapy. A previous study has indicated an association between berberine (BBR) and reduced incidence of RILI. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Here we validated the radioprotective role of BBR in mouse...
Progressive decline in lung function is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although airway dysbiosis occurs in COPD, whether it contributes to disease progression remains unknown. Here, through a longitudinal analysis on 181 COPD individuals from two large cohorts involvi...
Hemolysis drives susceptibility to lung injury and predicts poor outcomes in diseases, such as malaria and sickle cell disease (SCD). However, the underlying pathological mechanism remains unknown. Here, we report that major facilitator superfamily domain containing 7C (MFSD7C) protects the lung ...
Progressive lung function decline is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Airway dysbiosis occurs in COPD, but whether it contributes to disease progression remains unknown. Here we showed, through a longitudinal analysis on two cohorts involving four UK centers, that basel...
The complexity of the aging process, encompassing numerous organs and systems, poses a significant challenge in identifying and targeting key factors that drive age-related decline. The multi-organ synchronous molecular intricacies underlying natural aging remain elusive. Here we presented a data...
