Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is a treatment for end-stage lung disease caused by emphysema. Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that causes shortness of breath ...

3D-printed lungs made with living cells could help to improve lung disease prevention and treatment—and potentially one day offer a lab-grown option for use in organ transplants. University of ...

A magnetic microrobot navigates lung airways, drills microlesions, gathers biomarkers, and rapidly classifies cancer tissue with Raman sensing and machine learning in a single integrated workflow.

Researchers uncovered how lung cells decide whether to rebuild tissue or fight infection. This built-in “switch” may be the key to restoring the lungs’ natural repair ability. The discovery could lead ...
