TL;DR: This work investigates ACE2 and TMPRSS2 expression levels and their distribution across cell types in lung tissue and in cells derived from subsegmental bronchial branches by single nuclei and single cell RNA sequencing, suggesting increased vulnerability for SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.

TL;DR: The two procedures can easily be performed with a dedicated linear endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscope in one setting and by one operator and provide better diagnostic accuracy than either one alone.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of pirfenidone in patients with four non-IPF progressive fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), including collagen or vascular diseases (i.e., connective tissue disease-associated ILDs), non-specific interstitial pneumonia, chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, or asbestos-induced lung fibrosis.

TL;DR: New therapeutic attempts and potential future approaches to treat IPF are summarised to aim to reduce the burden of disease.

TL;DR: A new bronchoscopic navigation system is useful for bronchoscopy for pulmonary peripheral lesions (NCT01067755) and can help access the peripheral lung airways and enable lesion sampling.
