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 ...

A team of Princeton University researchers recently elucidated the mechanisms involved in lung development using brown anole lizards as a model organism. Their developments represent a huge step ...

For the first time, a breathing lung model has been made using cells from only one person. Announced on January 1, the ...

Take a deep breath in. Slowly let it out. You have just participated in one of the most profound evolutionary revolutions on Earth--breathing air on land. It's unclear how the first vertebrates ...

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 ...

Why does lung health matter and what is pulmonary fibrosis? The human body has a remarkable ability to heal injury. When one of my sons takes a corner too fast on his bike and scrapes a knee, it ...

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 ...

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 ...

Birds and mammals are on extreme ends of the airflow spectrum. Mammals inhale oxygen-rich air and they exhale depleted air, exhibiting a so-called tidal flow pattern. In contrast, bird breath travels ...
