  • "Mechanisms of progressive fibrosis in connective tissue disease (CTD)-associated interstitial lung diseases (ILDs)" (2020) in Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases
  • "Efficacy and safety of sildenafil added to pirfenidone in patients with advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and risk of pulmonary hypertension: a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial" (2020) in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine
  • "Increased monocyte count and red cell distribution width as prognostic biomarkers in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis" (2021) in Respiratory Research
  • "Epidemiology of interstitial lung diseases and their progressive-fibrosing behaviour in six European countries" (2021) in ERJ Open Research
  • "Lung cancer in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: A retrospective multicentre study in Europe" (2022) in Respirology

The scientist has collaborated frequently with a core group of coauthors, including Vasilios Tzilas, Τheodoros Karampitsakos, Argyrios Tzouvelekis, Effrosyni D. Manali, and Αrgyris Τzouvelekis. These collaborations reflect sustained research partnerships in pulmonary medicine and related topics.
