Significant Progress in Small-Cell Lung Cancer Research

Small-cell lung cancer is a particularly aggressive type of tumor with a consistently high mortality rate. In recent years, the research of scientists has significantly contributed to a better understanding and new therapeutic approaches in this malignant ...

Single-Cell Atlas of the Whole Human Lung

The largest and most comprehensive cell map of the human lung has been completed. The Human Lung Cell Atlas reveals the great diversity of cell types in the lung and shows key differences between health and disease. Researchers identified rare cell types and found common cell states between lung ...

Study Shows Key Role for Human T Cells in the Control of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection

A new study has shown that human T cells have an important role to play in controlling ...

New Nanoparticles Can Perform Gene-Editing in the Lungs

A new type of nanoparticle can be administered to the lungs, where it can deliver messenger RNA encoding useful proteins. Researchers hope to use them to develop new treatments for cystic fibrosis and other lung ...
