   Keywords : Airway inflammation; aspirin-intolerant asthma; biomarker; exhaled breath condensate; FENO; induced sputum; leukotrienes; 5-lipoxygenase; non-invasive analysis; saliva;

   Abstract : Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two common diseases characterized by chronic airway inflammation, but the inflammation in asthma is different from the one in COPD. In addition, asthma is a heterogeneous disease presenting with many different phenotypes (e.g. READ MORE

4. 2. An integrative systems biology study to understand immune aging in people living with HIV

   Author : Flora Mikaeloff; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces viral replication, restores T helper cells and improves the survival of people living with HIV (PWH), transforming a life-threatening disease into a manageable chronic infection. Nevertheless, PWH under ART shows aging-related diseases such as bone abnormalities, non-HIV-associated cancers, and cardiovascular and neurocognitive diseases. READ MORE
