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 ...

Researchers at the CU Anschutz Cancer Center have discovered how breast cancer cells that spread to the lungs may take advantage of the body’s natural healing response and how a commonly used drug ...

The same biological processes that drive aging — such as energy loss — may also contribute to lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cleveland Clinic researchers have ...

Lung cancer. Just hearing the words can evoke fear, confusion, and a sense of helplessness. Despite advances in treatment, it's still one of the most aggressive and deadly cancers we face today. But ...
