Using a four-dimensional microscopy technique, researchers have created 3D video images of mouse lung tissue grown in the laboratory. What they have learned has been nothing short of groundbreaking.

Understanding resilience - the ability of injured lung tissue to heal and regenerate - may be key to advancing the treatment and prevention of life-threatening lung disease that occurs in extremely ...

The researchers' success in direct reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into alveolar epithelial-like cells may lead to new treatments for serious lung diseases. Researchers in Japan have successfully ...

When a virus enters the lungs, the immune system has to react fast. The lung maintains its own community of immune cells ...

Mitochondria isolated from onions entered lung immune cells in mice and restored their energy balance, revealing an unexpected way plant-derived organelles can regulate inflammation inside mammalian ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...

Fibrosis of the lungs is often a silent disease until it's too late. By the time patients are diagnosed, the scarring of their lung tissue is already advanced, and current treatments offer little more ...
