Biological therapy was associated with significant changes in lung structure and, by extension, improved lung function in ...

Exposures before birth and in early life, including paternal smoking and maternal obesity, are key predictors of lung health ...

A group of scientists has found that severe obesity accelerates lung aging. This may explain the breathing problems in ...

“When we blocked chitinase-like proteins in mice, we were able to reverse some of the damage,” said Dr. Tara Sutherland, lead ...

A research team has determined that severe obesity causes the lungs to age faster. The team was led by Prof. Dr. Veronika ...

Carrying excess weight may be doing more than just straining the heart — it could also be ageing your lungs ahead of time, ...

In obesity, lung fibroblasts, that is, connective tissue cells, specifically accumulate fat, become more mobile, and show ...

Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany investigated how the lungs adapt to nutritional challenges in obesity ...

Obesity remodels the extracellular matrix in the lungs, causing changes in lung tissue that are similar to those that occur ...

Ozone exposure reshapes the oral microbiome and reduces lung function, particularly in men, revealing significant health ...

A brand-new engineering approach to generate "designer" biological robots using human lung cells is underway in Carnegie Mellon University's Ren lab. Referred to as AggreBots, these microscale living ...
