Scientists have shown that their steerable lung robot can autonomously maneuver the intricacies of the lung, while avoiding important lung structures. Lung cancer is the leading cause of ...

Respiratory diseases are a challenging problem to treat. Inhalable medicines are a promising solution that depends on the ability to deliver tiny particles known as aerosols to the correct location in ...

A new study in mice hints at the potential to use tiny particles made with RNA molecules to deliver chemotherapy drugs and ...

Biological therapy was associated with significant changes in lung structure and, by extension, improved lung function in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and T2 ...

Lung development in the fetus occurs at low oxygen tension in the womb, but after a very premature birth, the partly developed lungs of the tiny infants experience far greater oxygen tensions even ...

A COVID infection can cause damage to lung tissue, and researchers are interested in studying the extent to which COVID infection lowers lung functioning and how long after an infection that can last.

Stage 1 lung carcinoid tumors are confined to the lung and have not spread to lymph nodes or distant organs. Tumors at this stage are typically small and localized, which often allows for curative ...

Researchers engineered RNA micelles carrying gemcitabine, survivin-targeting siRNA and a tumor-binding ligand. In mice with ...

This fact sheet explains how lung cancer is staged, and what each stage means. Lung cancer staging can be complex, but this fact sheet is intended for patient education. Our easy-to-read fact sheets ...
