In a new study, researchers found that older adults with obesity had significantly decreased measures of lung function compared to those without obesity, and the results were consistent among men and ...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human lung-on-chip model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...
An international research group has combined advanced single-cell technologies with studies in lung organoids to map the development of early human lung immune cells over time. Their results, which ...
Scientists reveal that short-term ozone inhalation doesn’t just harm the lungs; it reshapes the microbes in your mouth, with men facing the greatest risks. Study: Impact of Ozone Exposure on Oral ...
Promising 12-week Phase II trial data with BI 1015550, a novel investigational phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) inhibitor, published in The New England Journal of Medicine Potential new treatment for ...
The frontiers of xenotransplantation have been further extended with a pig-to-human lung transplant, the first time an organ that is directly exposed to the external environment – with the associated ...
On a clear polymer chip, soft and pliable like a gummy bear, a microscopic lung comes alive - expanding, circulating, and, for the first time, protecting itself like a living organ. (Nanowerk News) On ...
Air sacs in the lungs called alveoli are crucial for gas exchange and provide an important barrier against inhaled viruses and bacteria that cause respiratory diseases like flu and tuberculosis (TB).
