Title:
The Prognostic role of MUC5B rs35705950 genotype in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) on antifibrotic treatment
Summary:
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a fatal disease of unknown origin. A common variant located in the promoter region of MUC5B (rs35705950) is the strongest risk factor for sporadic and familiar IPF. We tested the hypothesis that MUC5B rs35705950 genotype influences the prognosis of IPF patients on antifibrotic therapy

Title: Expression of ACE2, the SARS-CoV-2 receptor, in lung tissue of patients with type 2 diabetes
Summary:
Although SARS-CoV-2 can infect any individual, an increased risk for hospitalization and death due to COVID-19 is reported in subjects with diabetes. We tested whether patients with diabetes exhibit increased pulmonary ACE2 levels, the SARS-CoV-2 receptor, which could relate to an increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infectivity
