The Multifaceted Roles of Neutrophil Death in COPD and Lung Cancer.
J Respir Biol Transl Med
March 2025
Article Synopsis
- COPD significantly increases the risk of developing lung cancer due to factors like genomic instability and immune dysregulation.
- Neutrophils play a crucial role in inflammation related to both diseases, and their short lifespan allows for various programmed forms of cell death that can influence disease outcomes.
- The review discusses mechanisms of neutrophil death, their impact on disease progression, and new therapeutic strategies focused on targeting these pathways in order to improve treatment for COPD and lung cancer.
The persistence and ecological impact of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water sources necessitate effective and energy-efficient treatment solutions. This study introduces a novel approach using cerium dioxide (CeO) electrodes enhanced with oxygen vacancy (O) to catalyze the defluorination of PFAS. By leveraging the unique affinity between cerium and fluorine-containing species, our approach enables adsorptive preconcentration and catalytic degradation at low oxidation potentials (1.

Here we discuss food safety in the rapidly developing field of cultivated meat as it shifts from lab-based to commercial scales. We focus on what science-informed risk mitigation processes can be implemented from neighbouring fields.

Objectives: To investigate the factors influencing the levels of fear regarding psychotherapy in adolescents with depression.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted among 258 adolescents with depression who were treated in the outpatient service and inpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from September 2023 to March 2024. A questionnaire survey was performed.
Background: Given growing demand for hip and knee arthroplasty and unsustainable resource requirements, safe and efficient models of care are critical. This study aims to determine the impact on healthcare costs of implementing an enhanced short-stay model of care (ESS-MOC) for arthroplasty at a national level.
Methods: A budget impact analysis was conducted for the years 2023-2030 in the setting of Australian publicly and privately funded hospitals performing hip or knee arthroplasty.
