Lung macrophages play a pivotal role in diseases like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Two types of macrophages—the white blood ...

The UCLA advance opens the door to growing other vascularized organ models, including intestines and colons, providing ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse ...

The new lung cancer screening program needs to be independently evaluated to keep it on track, and to minimise the harms.

Using immunohistochemistry to quantify polarisation of M1 (iNOS) and M2 (CD206) phenotype in lung tissue, in normal lungs AMs did not show M1 or M2 polarisation and instead dual expressed both markers ...

Objective To conduct a systematic review investigating the normal age-related changes in lung function in adults without known lung disease. Design Systematic review. Data sources MEDLINE, Embase and ...

Stage II disease involves 25% to 35% of patients with sarcoidosis. Pulmonary disease generally appears as the intrathoracic lymphadenopathy is regressing. Pulmonary parenchymal involvement is ...

The lung parenchyma was normal. Differential diagnosis included primary and secondary neoplasms and granulomatous disease. A gallium scan (Figure 3) was performed to narrow the differential diagnosis.

Introduction The promise of benefits from lung cancer screening is tempered by the false positive rate and the need to perform diagnostic procedures to determine the aetiology of the solitary ...

Cancer-related deaths worldwide are dominated by lung cancer, which requires early diagnosis and treatment for effective treatment. Lung cancer diagnosis accuracy has improved with the use of CT scans ...

The developed mouse model displays the two key features of fibrosis: dense parenchymal scar alternating with normal parenchyma and temporal lung heterogeneity. Collagen deposition (red) from Sirius ...
