 Early exposure to plastics raises young children’s asthma riskEarly exposure to plastics raises young children’s asthma risk
 
A large international study found that early-life exposure to phthalates, common chemicals in plastics, is modestly associated with increased risks of asthma, wheeze, and rhinitis in children under five. No consistent associations were found for bisphenols, and effects were generally small.
 
 
 Alzheimer’s protein found to drive lung cancer spread to the brainAlzheimer’s protein found to drive lung cancer spread to the brain
 
Researchers at McMaster University, Cleveland Clinic and Case Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered how a protein long associated with Alzheimer's disease helps lung cancer spread to the brain – a discovery that offers hope that existing Alzheimer's drugs could be repurposed in preventing cancer's spread.

A research team has evaluated the real-world impact of a community-based pneumococcal vaccination support program for older adults conducted in Sera Town, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.
 
   Preeclampsia in pregnancy reduces risk of some cancers but raises endometrial cancer oddsPreeclampsia in pregnancy reduces risk of some cancers but raises endometrial cancer odds
 
Women with preeclampsia in their first pregnancy had a lower risk of developing breast, cervical, and lung cancer later in life, but a higher risk of endometrial cancer. The large Nordic cohort study also found that siblings of women with PE had a modestly reduced risk of cancer, particularly lung cancer.
 
 Lung cells generated from mouse embryonic fibroblasts in just 7 to 10 days
 
Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse embryonic fibroblasts without using stem cell technology.
 
 
 Illness expectations play a crucial role in asthma progression and patient-reported outcomes
 
Illness expectations play a crucial role in asthma progression and patient-reported outcomesIndividual expectations about one's health can influence him/her future condition and the speed of the progression of a disease: in fact, a research conducted by researchers of psychology at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan campus, shows that, after a diagnosis of asthma, people who are optimistic about their health will have a slower progression of the disease.

ADA2 regulates inflammation through lysosomal and extracellular mechanismsAdenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) plays a critical role in immune regulation, particularly in monocyte differentiation and activation.
 
 
 Corticosteroids may reduce effectiveness of immunotherapy in lung cancer
 
Corticosteroids may reduce effectiveness of immunotherapy in lung cancerCorticosteroids, a commonly prescribed medication to alleviate cancer-related symptoms for non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with immunotherapy, are the main reason certain immunotherapies may fail in treating the disease, according to new research by Keck Medicine of USC.
