A new study by University of Iowa researchers finds that rare lung cells known as pulmonary ionocytes facilitate the absorption of water and salt from the airway surface. This function is exactly the ...

The frontiers of xenotransplantation have been further extended with a pig-to-human lung transplant, the first time an organ that is directly exposed to the external environment – with the associated ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human lung-on-chip model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...

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 ...

Air sacs in the lungs called alveoli are crucial for gas exchange and provide an important barrier against inhaled viruses and bacteria that cause respiratory diseases like flu and tuberculosis (TB).

Sat, Mar 21, 2026 Medical professionals have successfully maintained the life of a critically ill 33-year-old male for 48 ...

It is a basic principle in biology- blood is made in the bone marrow. It’s where the cells(hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs))responsible for generating red blood ...

The lungs are one of the most important organs in the human body. They help us breathe by taking in oxygen and removing ...

A joint research team led by Chinese scientists, including researchers from South Korea, Japan, and the U.S., has successfully transplanted genetically modified pig lungs into a brain-dead patient for ...

Dr. Joshua K. Sabari explains how surgery, radiation and therapy may reduce lung capacity and shares steps survivors can take to protect their breathing health. In a recent video interview, Dr. Joshua ...
