Comparisons between In-Check DIAL® and PF810® in evaluation and training inspiratory capacity for using dry powder inhalers.

Background: Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) rely on both internal resistance and patients' inspiratory capacity for effective operation. Optimal inspiratory technique is crucial for DPI users. This study assessed the accuracy and repeatability of two available devices, PF810® and In-Check DIAL®, and analyzed their measurement errors and consistency in detecting inspiratory capacity.

Deciphering the molecular regulatory of RAB32/GPRC5A axis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a significant public health problem characterized by persistent airflow limitation. Despite previous research into the pathogenesis of COPD, a comprehensive understanding of the cell-type-specific mechanisms in COPD remains lacking. Recent studies have implicated Rab GTPases in regulating chronic immune response and inflammation via multiple pathways.

DNA nanoparticles targeting FOXO4 selectively eliminate cigarette smoke-induced senescent lung fibroblasts.

The pathogenesis and development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are significantly related to cellular senescence. Strategies to eliminate senescent cells have been confirmed to benefit several senescence-related diseases. However, there are few reports of senolytic drugs in COPD management.
