In summary, we demonstrate the development of a novel alveolar organoid model and use it to identify effectors of SFTPC maturation necessary for AT2 health. Disorders of surfactant protein biology ...

Jan. 13, 2025 — Scientists have found that a test to detect circulating tumor DNA can predict lung cancer ... Lung Cancer Test Predicts Survival in Early Stages Better Than Current Methods Jan.

Disorders of surfactant protein biology cause dysfunction of alveolar type 2 cells and can lead to interstitial lung disease. This study describes the development of genetically manipulable, mature ...

Jan. 9, 2025 — Researchers have shown that a test called ORACLE can predict lung cancer survival at the point of diagnosis better than currently used clinical risk factors. This could help ...

Lung cancer liver metastases are tumors that form in the liver from cancer cells that have broken away from the primary cancer and spread through the blood or lymphatic system. The liver is a common ...

The gold standard for finding lung cancer early is computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening. However, this is limited to people who have smoked. Currently, there are more non-smokers (never ...

According to the latest statistics from the American Cancer Society, incidence rates of lung cancer are now higher in women than in men among people younger than 65 years. Overall, though, the news ...

Lung cancer arises in tissues of the lung, usually in the cells lining air passages. The two main types are small-cell lung cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer, according to the shape of cells ...

The American Lung Association State of the Air report issues an annual report card for all cities and counties where air quality data is collected on ozone and particle pollution.

For 25 years, the American Lung Association has analyzed data from official air quality monitors to compile the State of the Air report. The more you learn about the air you breathe, the more you can ...

Sarah-Maria Fendt (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues have uncovered that the availability of the amino acid aspartate is one reason why the lung is a frequent organ of metastasis. Their work appears ...
