Scientists have shown that their steerable lung robot can autonomously maneuver the intricacies of the lung, while avoiding important lung structures. Lung cancer is the leading cause of ...

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 ...

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 ...

A COVID infection can cause damage to lung tissue, and researchers are interested in studying the extent to which COVID infection lowers lung functioning and how long after an infection that can last.

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 ...

A team of scientists at the Institute for Cell Biology (Cancer Research), University of Duisburg-Essen, has developed a simple method for the automated manufacture of induced pluripotent stem cell ...

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 ...

A new study in mice hints at the potential to use tiny particles made with RNA molecules to deliver chemotherapy drugs and ...

This fact sheet explains how lung cancer is staged, and what each stage means. Lung cancer staging can be complex, but this fact sheet is intended for patient education. Our easy-to-read fact sheets ...
