Triple Combination Therapy Brings Lasting Improvement in Cystic Fibrosis

The mucus in the airways is not as sticky, inflammation in the lungs significantly reduced: Triple combination therapy can achieve these positive, lasting effects in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). According to new research, this form of medication improves the symptoms of CF in many ...

Innovative Breathing Aid Developed

One in 10 adults suffer from the debilitating effects of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Research around a new breathing device developed by pulmonologists offers promise for improving their lives. The new device not only improves symptoms of breathlessness and quality of life for ...

Spatial Lung Cell Atlas Offers Insights Into Disease and Immune Function

Researchers have genetically profiled nearly 200,000 cells from lungs, mapping their precise locations in tissue to discover an unexpected new immune niche in our ...

Emphysema More Common in Marijuana Smokers Than Cigarette Smokers

Airway inflammation and emphysema are more common in marijuana smokers than cigarette smokers, according to a new study. Researchers said the difference may be due to the way that marijuana is smoked and the fact that marijuana smoke enters the lungs ...

The global burden of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a group of common lung conditions that affects more than 300 million people, could be significantly reduced with a simple health ...

Study Questions Widely Used Race-Based Formula to Define Lung Disease

New results from a long-term epidemiologic study reveal that one of the oldest racially based diagnostic formulas in medicine is no better than a race-neutral ...

Lung Capacity Tests Found to Be Accurate Precursor of Co-Morbidities

One of the largest studies to investigate whether Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISm), an understudied low lung function state, is an early predictor of co-morbidities has found it is ...

Lower Airways Are Distinct in Cystic Fibrosis Even at Younger Ages

In the largest study of its kind, researchers found that the lower airways in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) have a higher burden of infection, more inflammation and lower diversity of ...

A new study evaluates the association between a series of environmental factors and disease effects in over 400 ...

Why Do Short-Lived Lung Infections Lead to Long-Lasting Lung Damage?

Researchers have found that two populations of stem cells in the lung multiply during and after a viral respiratory infection, sometimes triggering a detrimental remodeling process that can cause ...

Computational Evaluation of Drug Delivery Reveals Room for Inhalers Improvement

Increased air pollution in recent years has exacerbated health risks for people who suffer from pulmonary diseases and these dynamics underscore the importance of increasing the efficacy of drug ...

Like Priming a Pump, Cells Damaged by Chronic Lung Disease Can Result in Severe COVID

New research suggests that the airway cells of patients with chronic lung diseases are 'primed' for infection by the COVID-19 virus, resulting in more severe symptoms, poorer outcomes and a ...

Cell Death Discovery Could Lead to New Treatment for COPD

Inhibiting necroptosis, a form of cell death, could yield a new treatment approach for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an inflammatory lung condition also known as emphysema, new ...

Is Elevated Level of Lung Protein an Early Predictor for COPD?

Researcher had previously discovered that the total mucin concentrations in the lungs are associated with COPD disease progression and could be used as diagnostic markers of chronic bronchitis, a ...

Genes Responsible for Loss of Lung Function Identified

Researchers have identified a panel of genes that are active in smokers and ex-smokers who experience faster loss of lung function over time. They believe these genes could be useful to predict which ...
