ERJ call for papers on cystic fibrosis

The European Respiratory Journal (ERJ) will join Lancet Respiratory Medicine and the Journal of Cystic Fibrosis to host a collaborative research session on cystic fibrosis (CF) during the upcoming European Cystic Fibrosis Society Conference. The session will provide an educational forum to discuss how the journals operate, and to disseminate the latest cutting-edge findings in this very active field. In preparation for this session, ERJ is calling for new submissions from the field of CF, with a preference for clinical trials, high-quality basic science, or translational studies with a high potential clinical relevance. Find out more and submit your CF papers.

Lung Stem Cells in Development, Health and Disease

The forthcoming ERS Monograph on Lung Stem Cells in Development, Health and Disease is now available to pre-order. This Monograph provides information about the different classes of stem cells present in both the developing and adult lung: where they are found, how they function in homeostasis and pathologic conditions, the mechanisms that regulate their behaviour, and how they may be harnessed for therapeutic purposes. The book focuses on stem cells in the mouse and human lung but also includes the ferret as an increasingly important new model organism. Chapters also discuss how lung tissue, including endogenous stem cells, can be generated in vitro from pluripotent stem cell lines.
