Brensocatib, newly approved by the FDA for noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB), was also associated with improvements in lung structure, on the basis of data from a substudy of 100 individuals ...

Along with advancing lung health research, neutron research at ORNL enables researchers to make groundbreaking discoveries that support critical areas, such as artificial intelligence, quantum and ...

In a recent study published in the journal Access Microbiology, researchers explore the composition of the microbiome and interactions in the lower respiratory tract (LRT) in smokers. Study: Lower ...

Respiratory diseases are a challenging problem to treat. Inhalable medicines are a promising solution that depend on the ability to deliver tiny particles known as aerosols to the correct location in ...

Vitamin C may offer meaningful protection against one of the world's invisible but pervasive health threats – fine-particle ...

A team of scientists have developed a simple method for automated manufacturing of lung organoids which could revolutionize the development of treatments for lung disease. These organoids, miniature ...

Researchers say in future it may be possible to grow personalized organoids from patient’s own tissue, to test potential treatments in advance.

The RAF1 gene belongs to a class of genes known as oncogenes. When mutated, oncogenes have the potential to cause normal cells to become cancerous. One of the challenges in cancer research is the ...

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) may increase the risk of pneumonia due to a weakened immune system or structural changes to the lungs. SCLC is one of the two main types of lung cancer. Pneumonia is an ...

Your lungs might be ageing faster than your body, a new study reveals. Factors like pollution, smoking, and infections accelerate lung decline, often before symptoms appear. Early detection through ...
