Introduction: This study systematically investigated the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and lung function, incorporating Z-scores, thereby offering a novel approach to lung function ...

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 ...

Pulmonary fibrosis is a deadly disease in which the lungs become thickened and scarred, gradually losing their ability to deliver oxygen to the body. Now, scientists at UC San Francisco have ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can weaken the muscles that support breathing, leading to respiratory issues and a higher risk of complications such as lung infections and respiratory failure.

A nanobody-based technology can precisely identify and attack lung cancer cells—sparing surrounding healthy tissue. This is the promise of researchers at the Bio-Nano Research Center at the Korea ...

New research has identified the mechanism by which air pollution damages the lungs’ self-cleaning system, leaving us vulnerable to infection. In doing so, it has also identified a way to reverse that ...

A study has shown how lung capacity evolves from childhood to old age. Until now, it was thought that lung function increased until it peaked at around 20-25 years of age, after which it stabilized.
