Lung biopsy is a relatively frequently performed procedure with considerable benefit for patient management but it may, on rare occasions, result in the death of the patient. It is a multidisciplinary ...

Lung cancer screening aims to find lung cancer early. This is when there are more treatment options available and there is the best chance of treating it successfully. In the UK, the National ...

Methods Whole genome mRNA profiling was performed on lung tissue samples (n=1197) and differential gene expression with increasing age was analysed using an adjusted linear regression model.

People with COPD experience changes in their bodies. It starts with damage to the airways and tiny sacs in your lungs. That progresses to a wet cough and difficulty breathing, which can then get ...

This would see the creation of organoids – artificially grown masses of cells or tissue resembling organs which are derived from stem cells – which would mimic how natural lungs function ...

Anatomic lung resections, such as lobectomy and segmentectomy, are linked to improved long-term survival for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to wedge resection.

IPF affects the tissue surrounding the air sacs, or alveoli, in the lungs. This condition develops when lung tissue becomes thick and stiff for reasons still unknown and leads to the irreversible ...

Spontaneous pneumothorax occurs when a lung collapses for no apparent reason. Tall, thin, adolescent males are at the greatest risk, although females can also be affected. Risk factors include smoking ...

This action decreases pressure and increases the space in the thoracic cavity, allowing your lungs to expand as you inhale ... The diaphragm is primarily composed of muscle and fibrous tissue. The ...

analysis showed that these DEPs in lung tissues were primarily enriched in pathways, including IL-17 and B cell receptor signaling pathways, and the response to stimuli. In contrast, DEPs in the serum ...
