	Study links asthma to memory deficits in children Asthma is associated with memory difficulties in children, and early onset of asthma may exacerbate memory deficits, according to a new study from the University of California, Davis.

	Artificial cilia system monitors mucus conditions in human airways Xiaoguang Dong, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, is leading a team of researchers that has developed a system of artificial cilia capable of monitoring mucus conditions in human airways to better detect infection, airway obstruction, or the severity of diseases like Cystic Fibrosis (CF), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) and lung cancer.

			New SCLC biomarkers enable advances in precision medicine approaches A new research paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on October 11, 2024, entitled "Relationship between the expressions of DLL3, ASC1, TTF-1 and Ki-67: First steps of precision medicine at SCLC"

			Assessing recurrence risk with ctDNA-based MRD detection in NSCLC patients In operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), molecular residual disease (MRD) detection via circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a promising approach to identify individuals at high risk of disease recurrence and potentially guide adjuvant therapy decisions.

			New approach to COPD focuses on socioeconomic factors and comorbidities Health care providers treating people with COPD also need to focus on the person's socioeconomic factors, along with considering their additional health conditions or comorbidities, according to a new article.

	Vitamin D receptor activation slows cell overgrowth in pulmonary hypertension The study demonstrates that activating the vitamin D receptor (VDR) with calcitriol suppresses cell proliferation in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells, potentially reducing disease severity in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

	New discovery reveals how mutant RAS genes drive tumor growth Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and their collaborators have discovered a new way in which RAS genes, which are commonly mutated in cancer, may drive tumor growth beyond their well-known role in signaling at the cell surface.

	New blood test detects early lung damage in cancer patients on targeted therapy New study introduces a simple blood test to detect early lung damage in cancer patients receiving novel therapy with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which can sometimes cause serious, even fatal, lung disease (ILD).

	AI tool enhances diagnosis of long COVID in electronic health records Investigators at Mass General Brigham have developed an AI-based tool to sift through electronic health records to help clinicians identify cases of long COVID, an often mysterious condition that can encompass a litany of enduring symptoms, including fatigue, chronic cough, and brain fog after infection from SARS-CoV-2.

	Early RSV vaccination in pregnancy provides best protection for newborns Current guidelines recommend that pregnant people receive a vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-;which typically causes mild, cold-like symptoms in most adults but can be deadly for infants-;during weeks 32–36 of pregnancy.

	Study shows community health workers can improve asthma care for children While great strides have been made to ensure children have access to proper asthma care in their home and community, linking those environments to the care that children receive while in school has been a challenge.
