Great talk on microplastics & lung health #ERSCongress2025 Key messages - more ingestion from air than gut, thus most deposition in the lung. Links to #COPD & ILD. The type of plastic matters

ALIENTO study of Astegolimab, targeting IL33 in #COPD. Marginal effect on AECOPD, direction same as (negative) ARNASA study. Maybe too broad/late population? #ERSCongress2025

Started #ERSCongress2025 with an excellent NTM session. Take homes: many new routes to Rx, CFTR & GM-CSF clinical data promising. BACES score aids prognostication

"We" need clinical trials & translational research, but the urgent gap is in health services & implementation science. We know much of what works; the challenge is delivering it equitably, affordably, and sustainably. Research must meet reality.
