Abstract: An in vitro microfluidic “organ-on-chip” device is described herein that mimics the structure and at least one function of specific areas of the epithelial system in vivo. In particular, a stem cell-based Lung-on-Chip is described. This in vitro microfluidic system can be used for modeling differentiation of cells on-chip into lung cells, e.g., a lung (Lung-On-Chip), bronchial (Airway-On-Chip; small-Airway-On-Chip), alveolar sac (Alveolar-On-Chip), etc., for use in modeling disease states of derived tissue, i.e. as healthy, pre-disease and diseased tissues. Additionally, stem cells under differentiation protocols for deriving (producing) differentiated lung cells off-chips may be seeded onto microfluidic devices at any desired point during the in vitro differentiation pathway for further differentiation on-chip or placed on-chip before, during or after terminal differentiation.

Abstract: The present application relates to infectious diseases, pathogenic organisms or pathogenic antigens, and the immune responses that are the body's first line of defense thereto. The application enables medical protocols and products inter alia for treating or preventing or limiting the dissemination of an infectious disease. Methods and compositions are disclosed which employ dIgA for assessing functional immune responses to a pathogen, and in prophylactic or therapeutic compositions. In particular embodiments, the methods and compositions enhance the armamentarium for those charged with managing infectious diseases and populations exposed to highly transmissible and potentially debilitating or fatal pathogens such as those causing epidemics. One particular infectious disease is COVID-19 caused by the virus SARS-COV-2.

Abstract: Methods and devices for capturing and analyzing aerosolized particles in exhaled breath characteristic of a respiratory disease to enable rapid, low-cost point of care assays for several diseases including respiratory tract diseases such as COVID-19 are disclosed. The disclosed methods and systems selectively capture aerosolized particles using a packed bed column. The captured particles are then eluted using solvents and analyzed using analytical devices including MALDI-TOFMS.

Abstract: The PDE4-inhibitor of formula A′




for use in a method for the treatment of a progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD), preferably IPF, in a patient comprising the following steps:



a) measuring or having measured the concentration, expression level or activity of one or more biomarkers selected from the group consisting of Krebs von den Lungen protein (KL-6), Pulmonary Surfactant Protein D (SP-D), Matrilysin (MMP7), CA-125 (also named MUC-16), CA19-9, E-selectin, sICAM-1, Stromelysin (MMP3), osteopontin (OPN), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), prostasin, von-Willebrand-Faktor (vWF), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the serum or plasma of a blood sample obtained from said patient,
b) comparing or having compared the concentration, expression level or activity of the one or more biomarkers as listed in step a) in said patient's blood serum or blood plasma sample to a reference concentration, expression level or activity of the respective one or more biomarkers,
c) determining or having determined that the concentration, expression level or activity of the respective one or more biomarkers as listed in step a) is modified compared to a respective reference concentration, expression or activity of that respective one or more biomarker,
d) administering to said patient a therapeutically efficient amount of the PDE4-inhibitor of formula A′.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides use of malic enzyme 2 (ME2) in preparation of a diagnostic reagent or a medicament for silicosis or pulmonary fibrosis-related diseases, and belongs to the technical fields of medical treatment and medicine. Research results of the present disclosure show that ME2 knockout significantly alleviates inflammatory response and fibrotic lesions in mice with silicosis. Based on the above research results, the present disclosure provides use of ME2 in treatment of pulmonary inflammatory responses and pulmonary fibrotic lesions of silicosis or pulmonary fibrosis-related diseases. Expression of ME2 is inhibited to alleviate the inflammatory response and fibrotic lesions of the silicosis, providing support for exploring a targeted drug for treating pulmonary inflammatory responses and pulmonary fibrosis of silicosis or pulmonary fibrosis-related diseases.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for diagnosing lung cancer in a subject comprising (a) generating circulating tumor cell (CTC) data from a blood sample obtained from the subject based on a direct analysis comprising immunofluorescent staining and morphological characteristics of nucleated cells in the sample, wherein CTCs are identified in context of surrounding nucleated cells based on a combination of the immunofluorescent staining and morphological characteristics; (b) obtaining clinical data for the subject; (c) combining the CTC data with the clinical data to diagnose lung cancer in the subject.
