Researchers have determined what happens at a cellular level as the lung alveolus forms and allows newborns to breathe air. Understanding this process gives researchers a better sense of how to ...

The lungs’ constant pattern of stretching and relaxing that accompanies breathing does more than allow for basic lung functioning—it generates immune responses against invading viruses. Using a human ...

The lung is one of the tissues most sensitive to radiation in the human body. People exposed to high radiation doses following nuclear incidents develop radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), which ...

Specialized lung cells appear in the developing fetus much earlier than scientists previously thought. A new animal study (“Early lineage specification defines alveolar epithelial ontogeny in the ...

This schematic shows how the small airsacs of the lung called alveoli, specifically the alveolar-capillary interface that is the major site of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is modeled on the ...

Specialized lung cells appear in the developing fetus much earlier than scientists previously thought. A new animal study reports how cells that become alveoli begin their specialized roles very early ...

Using innovative particle-engineering technology, Alveolus Bio is developing a platform that delivers live biotherapeutic products deep into the lungs for the treatment of chronic and infectious ...

When influenza A viruses and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infect the human body, innate immune responses in the lung act as the first line of defense against these ...
