This study, published in the journal Nature Communications, determined the mechanism of this live biotherapeutic product — a powder mixture of living Lactobacilli bacteria — to reduce neutrophilic ...

An investigative lung MRI that uses inhaled perfluoropropane gas has demonstrated an ability to identify damaged regions of the lung in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv preprint server, researchers develop the ‘crystal ribcage,’ a transparent ribcage for real-time lung imaging at cellular resolution. Study: Crystal Ribcage: A ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human lung-on-chip model using stem cells ...

Toby Maher, MD, PhD, professor of clinical medicine, Keck Medicine of USC, discusses the impact of changes in lung function in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). How does the rate of ...

A study has shown how lung capacity evolves from childhood to old age. Until now, it was thought that lung function increased until it peaked at around 20-25 years of age, after which it stabilized.

Early childhood BMI patterns play a crucial role in shaping adult lung health, with both high and low BMI linked to distinct respiratory outcomes, according to a long-term Swedish study. Study: Body ...

Dupilumab reduced airway inflammation and mucus burden and enhanced airway volume and flow, which led to better lung function and improved asthma control in patients with moderate to severe type 2 ...

The human respiratory system possesses remarkable healing abilities, even after years of tobacco exposure. While the damage from smoking can feel overwhelming, the body begins repairing itself within ...
