BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Lung macrophages play a pivotal role in diseases like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Two types of macrophages — the white blood cells that defend the body by killing microbes, ...

Researchers at the University of Liège (Belgium) have discovered a new population of macrophages, important innate immune cells that populate the lungs after injury caused by respiratory viruses.

A single genetic mutation in a lung cell can start rewriting the rules for the tissue around it almost immediately, ...

A single Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium is small enough to ride an exhaled droplet all the way down into the deepest pocket of the lung, where a single layer of alveolar cells is all that ...

Iron metabolism imbalance and ferroptosis are central to PF pathogenesis, offering new therapeutic targets. Ferroptosis links oxidative stress, iron overload, and fibrotic remodeling, affecting key ...
