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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Lung development in the fetus occurs at low oxygen tension in the womb, but after a very premature birth, the partly developed lungs of the tiny infants experience far greater oxygen tensions even ...

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 ...

Lung metastases are a devastating reality for over half of cancer patients whose tumors spread beyond their initial sites. These secondary lung tumors develop in part because of unique conditions ...

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 ...

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 ...
