Researchers uncovered how lung cells decide whether to rebuild tissue or fight infection. This built-in “switch” may be the ...

When doctors detect elevated levels of SerpinB3 in a blood test, it can signal that something is seriously wrong, from hard-to-treat cancers to severe inflammatory conditions.

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 ...

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 ...

Of the body’s organs, the lungs are among the trickiest to take a biopsy and treat cancer in, both due to how important they are, as well as due to their inaccessibility. The total respiratory surface ...

The lung tissue of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease contains triple the sootlike particle buildup found in similar tissue in smokers’ lungs, a recent analysis finds. The study found ...
