Targeting immunosenescence in lung diseases: mechanistic insights and clinical interventions.

Immunosenescence, the age-related decline in immune function, plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of lung diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, and respiratory tract infections. This comprehensive review examines the hallmarks of immunosenescence, and illustrates the association between immunosenescence and the path...

Unsupervised clustering of clinical and laboratory features of systemic lupus erythematosus: insights from a multicentre cohort.

OBJECTIVE: This study explored the relationship between clinical phenotypes and immuno-molecular features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using unsupervised machine learning and multi-omics integration. METHODS: A multicentre cohort of 1065 SLE patients from five teaching hospitals was studied. Unsupervised clustering was performed using integrated clinical and laboratory data to identify di...
