Microbiome diversity, intra-mucosal bacteria and immune integration within normal and asthmatic airway mucosa

The paper examines microbiome diversity and immune interactions in airway mucosa of healthy and asthmatic individuals, finding associations between bacterial counts and immune network eigenvectors.

Genes, gut microbiome, and lungs: Untangling the web of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

This study investigates genetic links between gut microbiome variation and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis risk and outcomes, identifying shared signals that suggest potential causal mechanisms.

Cross-kingdom analysis of microbial communities in Cystic Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis

This study analyzes microbial communities in CF and BX patients, finding no significant inter-kingdom interactions between fungal and bacterial communities that impact disease outcomes.

The impact of persistent bacterial bronchitis on the pulmonary microbiome of children

This study compares the pulmonary microbiome of children with persistent bacterial bronchitis to healthy controls, finding reduced diversity and altered community composition in patients.
