New research has found that delivering a stronger form of the tuberculosis vaccine directly to the lungs can help generate protective immune cells to help fight the disease. The research is published ...

A rare cell in the lining of lungs is fundamental to the organ-wide response necessary to repair damage from toxins like those in wildfire smoke or respiratory viruses, Stanford Medicine researchers ...

“In this study, we investigated the interplay between cigarette smoke, DNA damage and repair, focusing on the Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) protein Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group C (XPC).” “In this ...

Researchers uncovered how lung cells decide whether to rebuild tissue or fight infection. This built-in “switch” may be the key to restoring the lungs’ natural repair ability. The discovery could lead ...

Quitting smoking is a major win for your health, but the journey does not end with the last cigarette. Years of exposure leave behind toxins, oxidative stress, and inflammation in the lungs, and these ...

Researchers at the CU Anschutz Cancer Center have discovered how breast cancer cells that spread to the lungs may take advantage of the body's natural healing response and how a commonly used drug ...

At the height of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, researchers in Thomas Marichal’s immunophysiology laboratory at the University of Liège were studying samples collected from the lungs of patients who had ...

When it comes to lung healing and recovery, many well-intentioned approaches actually hinder rather than help the natural healing process. The lungs possess remarkable regenerative capabilities, but ...

The lungs that Dr. Ankit Bharat took out of Tadd Crosslin, a 49-year-old father of twins, were marred with billions of cancer cells. They were “perhaps the most diseased that we’ve ever seen,” said ...
