A team of scientists at the Institute for Cell Biology (Cancer Research), University of Duisburg-Essen, has developed a simple method for the automated manufacture of induced pluripotent stem cell ...

In preclinical models, the inhalation of a mixture of living Lactobacilli bacteria attenuated pulmonary inflammation and improved lung function and structure for the chronic lung diseases ...

The RAF1 gene belongs to a class of genes known as oncogenes. When mutated, oncogenes have the potential to cause normal cells to become cancerous. One of the challenges in cancer research is the ...

A new Northwestern Medicine study is challenging long-held assumptions about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to results published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation. COPD ...

This fact sheet explains how lung cancer is staged, and what each stage means. Lung cancer staging can be complex, but this fact sheet is intended for patient education. Our easy-to-read fact sheets ...
