Alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells maintain lung health by acting as stem cells and producing pulmonary surfactant. AT2 dysfunction underlies many lung diseases, including interstitial lung disease (ILD), in ...

They also represent a useful cell source to investigate cellular and molecular mechanisms of AT2 to AT1 cell lineage differentiation, and AT2 plasticity, during human lung development and repair.

There are two main types of lung cancer: small cell and non-small cell. According to the American Cancer Society, non-small ...

New research presented at the 2025 Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Annual Meeting reveals that anatomic lung resections, ...

Multiple chemicals in cigarette smoke and e-cigarettes alter the function of a key type of lung immune cell. Cigarette ...

Cigarette smoking is widespread and deadly, yet our understanding of how cigarette smoke actually causes serious respiratory ...

Today, Australian researchers reveal how multiple chemicals found in cigarette smoke and e-cigarettes alter the function of a key type of immune cell found in the lungs. The study, published January ...

A New Ventilator-on-a-Chip Model to Study Lung Damage Sep. 19, 2024 — Scientists are now able to directly compare the different kinds of injury that mechanical ventilation causes to cells in the ...
