Are primary airway epithelial cultures from children highly permissive to respiratory syncytial virus infection?
This is one of the first studies to examine comprehensively the responses to RSV infection in primary AEC cultures from children and shows marked differences from those of a commercially available immortalised human cell line but reassuring similarities to results found in vivo. This suggests that future work investigating responses of AECs to RSV infection should use primary AEC cultures.
T4N0 colon carcinoma remains associated with poor oncologic outcomes, regardless of treatment in a specialized center. The biologic aggressiveness of T4N0 colon cancers and the different oncologic outcomes according to specific organ infiltration should be taken into consideration in the choice of adjuvant therapies.
