A newly identified lung cell “switch” could help doctors unlock the lungs’ natural ability to heal themselves.

Recovery from deadly influenza infection may hinge on helping the lungs heal in addition to stopping the virus, according to a new study in mice, which shows that pairing modest antiviral therapies ...

Postdoctoral fellow positions are open immediately in Dr. Liu's lab to study the role of cellular metabolism and inflammasome activation in the regulation of lung injury, repair and fibrosis. The ...

A recent study from the Women’s Guild Lung Institute at Cedars-Sinai suggests that zinc could help reverse lung damage in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The findings, published in ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have uncovered a key molecular player that is involved in lung repair and in the development of pulmonary fibrosis, a common ...

A UCLA-led research team has discovered a molecular switch that determines whether tiny blood vessels in premature infants’ lungs can regenerate after injury. A failure of this repair process is a ...

“In this study, we investigated the interplay between cigarette smoke, DNA damage and repair, focusing on the Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) protein Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group C (XPC).” “In this ...

Our lungs are permanently exposed to harmful environmental factors that can damage or even destroy their cells. In a specific regenerative process these injured cells must be replaced as soon as ...

A research team has developed a single-dose CRISPR-CasRx nanotherapy targeting the host enzyme cathepsin L (referred to as SCNC) that not only reduces SARS-CoV-2 viral load during acute infection but ...

At the height of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, researchers in Thomas Marichal’s immunophysiology laboratory at the University of Liège were studying samples collected from the lungs of patients who had ...
