Biological therapy was associated with significant changes in lung structure and, by extension, improved lung function in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and T2 ...

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) may increase the risk of pneumonia due to a weakened immune system or structural changes to the lungs. SCLC is one of the two main types of lung cancer. Pneumonia is an ...

Respiratory diseases are a challenging problem to treat. Inhalable medicines are a promising solution that depends on the ability to deliver tiny particles known as aerosols to the correct location in ...

Boston University researchers have developed a new tool to track lung function in real-time, and at a cellular level It’s no secret that our lungs play a vital role in our daily lives — ensuring we ...

Branching patterns are prevalent in our natural environment and the human body, such as in the lungs and kidneys. For example, specific genes that express growth factor proteins are known to influence ...

3D-printed lungs made with living cells could help to improve lung disease prevention and treatment—and potentially one day offer a lab-grown option for use in organ transplants. University of ...

Respiratory diseases are a challenging problem to treat. Inhalable medicines are a promising solution that depend on the ability to deliver tiny particles known as aerosols to the correct location in ...

Using a neonatal mouse model, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have shown that changes in the microbiota of the gut contribute to this dangerous lung injury. The changes occur ...

University of Delaware Assistant Professor Catherine Fromen and current graduate student Dominic Hoffman work with an adaptable lung model that can replicate realistic breathing maneuvers and offer ...
