When it comes to lung healing and recovery, many well-intentioned approaches actually hinder rather than help the natural healing process. The lungs possess remarkable regenerative capabilities, but ...

Researchers have discovered a pathway by which immune cells prevent the lungs' protective barrier from healing after viral infections like COVID-19. Investigators involved in a multicenter study ...

As we age, it becomes harder to heal from injuries, in part because stem cells throughout the body lose their regenerative oomph. Scientists at Scripps Research reported this week on a molecule that ...

The female hormone progesterone, which is found in most hormone-based birth control, can expedite the healing process for lung cells harmed by an influenza infection, according to a new study ...

Investigators involved in a multicenter study co-led by Cedars-Sinai discovered a pathway by which immune cells prevent the lungs' protective barrier from healing after viral infections like COVID-19.

Scientists at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have found how severe COVID-19 harms the lungs and identified a drug that may help people with long COVID and other lung problems after ...

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.

he most common type of lung fibrosis — scarring of the lungs -- is idiopathic, meaning of unknown cause. Researchers are urgently trying to find ways to prevent or slow idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ...

Mason Schuster died by suicide at age 19, but his organs were used to help others, including Robbie Knutson, of South Dakota, who was preparing to die from emphysema. Jean Schuster uses a stethoscope ...

A unique program being offered at Presbyterian is helping patients catch their breath and improve their lung functions. Harmonicas for Health is a program introduced by the COPD (Chronic Obstructive ...

Investigators involved in a multicenter study co-led by Cedars-Sinai discovered a pathway by which immune cells prevent the lungs’ protective barrier from healing after viral infections like COVID-19.
