Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive pulmonary disease characterized by fibrotic lesions, with excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) and destruction of the lung ...

Early detection of lung cancer is critical for improving treatment outcomes, and automatic lung image segmentation plays a key role in diagnosing lung-related diseases such as cancer, COVID-19, and ...

A method has been reported by researchers from Tsinghua University in China, which enables the efficient and high-throughput production of lung cancer assembloids. These assembloids are ...

Researchers at VIB and VUB have developed a powerful new way to study how the immune system behaves inside lung tumors. By combining a patient-relevant mouse model with single-cell technologies, the ...

Researchers have developed a human in vitro model that closely mimics the complexities of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) and radiation dose sensitivity of the human lung. Using a previously ...

Pulmonary edema, a buildup of fluid in the lungs that can be fatal, presents a 125-year-old medical puzzle—one that has now been solved by researchers at the University of Michigan (U-M) and Arts et ...

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 ...

Biological assailants like fungi, bacteria, and viruses continuously test natural defenses that have evolved over millennia. Newer and stranger particles that originate from burning fuels, harmful ...

Your lungs are complex, yet delicate organs that replenish the oxygen in your blood with every breath you take. Each lung is divided into lobes and connected in the middle of your chest by your ...
