Even in the face of an immune response, though, the lungs looked great. At 24 hours, their ability to undergo gas exchange and the partial pressure of oxygen inside them increased, while negative ...

Our lungs are not identical. Our right lung has three lobes, and the left lung only two to make room for our heart. Lungs are ...

The research, published in the journal Current Biology, showed that breathing patterns can be used to identify individuals ...

Researchers have developed a human in vitro model that closely mimics the complexities of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) and radiation dose sensitivity of the human lung. Using a previously ...

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which create red blood cells, and megakaryocytes, which produce platelets that cause blood clots, were discovered in human lung tissue. "Bone marrow transplants ...

The human lung HSCs also could restore bone marrow in HSC-deficient mice. The discovery confirmed Looney’s earlier discovery that the mouse lung and bone marrow complemented one another in producing ...

Acosta-Plasencia, M., et al. (2024). Discovering genes and microRNAs involved in human lung development unveils IGFBP3/miR-34a dynamics and their relevance for alveolar differentiation.

Lung cancer among never-smokers is rising worldwide. In one U.S. study of 12,000 lung cancer patients, the share of people who didn’t smoke rose from 8 to 15 percent over twenty years. A British ...
