Characterisation of a New Human Alveolar Macrophage-Like Cell Line (Daisy) (2019)
Journal Article
Sadofsky, L. R., Hayman, Y. A., Vance, J., Cervantes, J. L., Fraser, S. D., Wilkinson, H. N., …Morice, A. H. (2019). Characterisation of a New Human Alveolar Macrophage-Like Cell Line (Daisy). Lung, 197(6), 687-698. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00408-019-00288-3

Purpose: There is currently no true macrophage cell line and in vitro experiments requiring these cells currently require mitogenic stimulation of a macrophage precursor cell line (THP-1) or ex vivo maturation of circulating primary monocytes. In thi... Read More about Characterisation of a New Human Alveolar Macrophage-Like Cell Line (Daisy).

ERS guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of chronic cough in adults and children (2019)
Journal Article
Morice, A. H., Millqvist, E., Bieksiene, K., Birring, S. S., Dicpinigaitis, P., Ribas, C. D., …Zacharasiewicz, A. (2020). ERS guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of chronic cough in adults and children. European respiratory journal, 55(1), https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.01136-2019

Copyright © ERS 2020 These guidelines incorporate the recent advances in chronic cough pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment. The concept of cough hypersensitivity has allowed an umbrella term that explains the exquisite sensitivity of patients to...

Inhaled corticosteroids and placebo treatment effects in adult patients with cough: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2019)
Journal Article
Lee, S. E., Lee, J., Kim, H. J., Lee, B., Cho, S., Price, D., …Song, W. (2019). Inhaled corticosteroids and placebo treatment effects in adult patients with cough: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Allergy Asthma and Immunology Research, 11(6), 856-870. https://doi.org/10.4168/aair.2019.11.6.856

Purpose: Inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) are often considered an empirical therapy in the management of patients with cough. However, ICS responsiveness is difficult to interpret in daily clinical practice, as the improvements may include placebo effe...

The effect of gefapixant, a P2X3 antagonist, on cough reflex sensitivity: A randomised placebo-controlled study (2019)
Journal Article
Morice, A. H., Kitt, M. M., Ford, A. P., Tershakovec, A. M., Wu, W. C., Brindle, K., …Wright, C. (2019). The effect of gefapixant, a P2X3 antagonist, on cough reflex sensitivity: A randomised placebo-controlled study. European respiratory journal, 54(1), Article 1900439. https://doi.org/10.1183/13993003.00439-2019

We evaluated the effect of gefapixant on cough reflex sensitivity to evoked tussive challenge. In this phase 2, double-blind, two-period study, patients with chronic cough (CC) and healthy volunteers (HV) were randomised to single-dose gefapixant...

Health Technology Assessment, 23(37), 1-145. https://doi.org/10.3310/hta23370

Background: Despite widespread use of therapies such as inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs), people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) continue to suffer, have reduced life expectancy and utilise considerable NHS resources. Laboratory inves... Read More about Low-dose oral theophylline combined with inhaled corticosteroids for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and high risk of exacerbations: A rct.

N-cinnamoylanthranilates as human TRPA1 modulators: Structure-activity relationships and channel binding sites (2019)
Journal Article
Chandrabalan, A., McPhillie, M. J., Morice, A. H., Boa, A. N., & Sadofsky, L. R. (2019). N-cinnamoylanthranilates as human TRPA1 modulators: Structure-activity relationships and channel binding sites. European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 170, 141-156. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejmech.2019.02.074

The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel is a non-selective cation channel, which detects noxious stimuli leading to pain, itch and cough. However, the mechanism(s) of channel modulation by many of the known, non-reactive modulators...
