New drug shows promise for treating bronchiectasis Results of a large, global clinical trial spanning five continents with over 1,700 patients with bronchiectasis has demonstrated benefits of an investigational, once-a-day pill called brenso catib as a therapy for the chronic lung condition. It may soon become the first-ever FDA-approved treatment for bronchiectasis.

Novel rat model paves the way to advance COPD-associated cor pulmonale research Researchers have developed a novel rat model that closely replicates the pathological features and physiological changes associated with human chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-associated cor pulmonale. This model exhibits key characteristics, including chronic lung inflammation, pulmonary hypertension, and right ventricular hypertrophy. The new study details the potential for the model to unravel the complex interactions between lung and heart pathology and improve patient outcomes.

The most effective prevention method for complications post lung transplant When receiving a lung transplant, one of the most important complications to look out for is chronic lung allograft dysfunction, known as CLAD. Preventing this complication for those who receive a lung transplant is of the highest priority, as there are no universally effective treatments for CLAD once it is established.
