Analyzing Pathophysiology and Immune Cells and Their Cytokines and Mediators in Precision-Cut Slices of the Murine Lung
Researchers have developed a new method to study lung diseases like asthma, COPD, and lung cancer in a way that better preserves the natural structure and immune responses of the lung. By using a special gel and precision-cutting techniques, they can create 30 lung slices from a single mouse lung for detailed analysis. These slices […]
Evaluation of Air Quality in a Primary School Classroom During Wintertime
This study measured indoor and outdoor air pollution levels in a primary school classroom in Patras, Greece, during winter to assess air quality and ventilation effectiveness. Using a mobile laboratory, researchers found that outdoor air was the main source of pollutants, but continuous natural ventilation kept pollutant levels low and within WHO safety limits. Cleaning […]
Calibration and Inter-Unit Consistency Assessment of an Electrochemical Sensor System Using Machine Learning
This paper addresses the challenges of calibrating low-cost electrochemical sensor systems for air quality monitoring. The proliferation of pollutants in the atmosphere necessitates efficient monitoring systems, and low-cost sensors offer a promising solution. However, issues such as drift, cross-sensitivity, and inter-unit consistency have raised concerns about their accuracy and reliability. The study explores …

Harmonizing Ethics in Living Labs
This research is focused on the harmonization of ethics in Living Labs (LLs). Living Lab (LL) is known as an approach to managing open innovation processes in which quadruple helix actors of innovation (i.e., public, private research institutions, and users) are involved to co-create innovation in a real-life setting (Leminen & Westerlund, 2012; Schuurman, 2015). Today, it is vital to ensure that innovation development in LLs is in line with ethical principles and societal values, the so-called Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) (Owen et al., 2012). By digging deeper into the ethical dimensions of LLs, this research aims to harmonize ethics in LLs. Through a short literature review and workshop, the research navigates the ethical challenges of LL activities, striving for a harmonious integration of ethical considerations in LLs.

Responsible living labs: what can go wrong?
This study aims to investigate how living lab (LL) activities align with responsible research and innovation (RRI) principles, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven digital transformation (DT) processes. The study seeks to define a framework termed “responsible living lab” (RLL), emphasizing transparency, stakeholder engagement, ethics and sustainability. This emerging issue paper also proposes several directions for future researchers in the field.

Expression of CD83 in tissue-resident regulatory T cells maintains local homeostasis and restricts effector cells in allergic asthma
Non-lymphoid tissue Tregs (NLT-Tregs) are critical for tissue homeostasis, inflammation control, and induction of mucosal repair. Recent single-cell RNA sequencing data identified expression of CD83 as part of a NLT-Treg signature, however its biological significance for this specialized Tregs was not yet fully understood. In our previous investigations, we found …

Roadmap and Guidelines
SynAir-G Roadmap and Guidelines will be developed by consolidating the outcomes and lessons learned from research and piloting activities. The Roadmap will be a comprehensive report including training material, published as a white paper with recommendations to authorities, EU policymakers, and the industry. The report will include a compilation of policies, standards, and technologies used in SynAir-G and a selection of best practices. Guidelines will also target healthcare professionals caring for children with allergy & asthma, sensitizing them to the potential risks of indoor air pollution, the synergies with chemical and biological triggers, and potential mitigation measures.
