A new study reveals that air pollution, traditional herbal medicines and other environmental exposures are linked to genetic mutations that may contribute to the development of lung cancer in people ...

Despite significant advances in understanding lung development, the intricate cellular interactions and spatial organization of the developing human lung remain incompletely defined. Spatial ...

Researchers have shown that the IGFBP3 protein plays a relevant role in human lung development. The results of the study, which used organoids derived from embryonic lungs, open up new perspectives on ...

Single-cell technologies are redefining the molecular signatures of canonical cell types and identifying new cell types and cell states in organs and tissues 1,2. Specifically, single-cell RNA ...

Breathing feels simple when you do it every day, but for a baby, learning to breathe is a long and carefully planned process. Your baby’s lungs do not grow or mature immediately. Instead, they develop ...

Drug development for lung diseases is complicated. Most clinical trials that test novel drugs fail due to the fact that laboratory models cannot accurately replicate human physiology. Currently ...

Immune cells play an active and intimate role in directing the growth of human lung tissue during development, researchers find, revolutionizing our understanding of early lung development and the ...

A study by researchers from The Saban Research Institute of Children's Hospital Los Angeles reveals a promising therapeutic target for improving lung function in infants. Their study, now published ...
