An AI model found that 28% of non-smokers are at high risk of developing lung cancer, with 2.9% of high-risk individuals developing the disease within six years. When you purchase through links on our ...

A human cell culture model of the lung's most important immune cells, alveolar macrophages, helped make a key finding that is prompting researchers to rethink the role of another immune protein. A ...

An innovative computer model of a human lung is helping scientists simulate, for the first time, how a burst of radiation interacts with the organ on a cell-by-cell level. This research, carried out ...

Biological assailants like fungi, bacteria, and viruses continuously test natural defenses that have evolved over millennia. Newer and stranger particles that originate from burning fuels, harmful ...

For the first time, scientists are able to directly compare the different kinds of injury that mechanical ventilation causes to cells in the lungs. In a new study, using a ventilator-on-a-chip model ...

Researchers from Australia and Bangladesh have developed an artificial intelligence model capable of spotting and distinguishing between multiple types of lung disease. Called LungNet, the tool ...

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 ...

Sex and racial disparities in incidence and survival outcomes in adolescents and young adults (AYA) with lung cancer in the United States. Prospective “common arm” comparison of US SWOG S0424 and ...

LSU Health New Orleans researchers developed 3D digital models from CT scans of COVID-19 patients to visually evaluate the distribution of the infection in patients’ respiratory systems. The research ...
