This schematic shows how the small airsacs of the lung called alveoli, specifically the alveolar-capillary interface that is the major site of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is modeled on the ...

The mere motions of breathing are known to influence vital functions of the lungs, including their development in babies, the production of air-exchange-enhancing fluid on their inner surfaces, and ...

Using innovative particle-engineering technology, Alveolus Bio is developing a platform that delivers live biotherapeutic products deep into the lungs for the treatment of chronic and infectious ...

The lungs’ constant pattern of stretching and relaxing that accompanies breathing does more than allow for basic lung functioning—it generates immune responses against invading viruses. Using a human ...
