New scan method unveils lung function secrets

A new scan method has enabled our team to see how air moves in and out of the lungs as people take a breath in patients with asthma, COPD and those who've had a lung transplant.

🇮🇳India: COVID left more Indians with lingering lung damage than others.

"A study by Christian Medical College, Vellore, revealed that Indians who recovered from COVID had lung function impairment and lingering symptoms. Some may have to live with lung damage for life."

Inhalation drug may prevent severe pneumonia

A new RNA-based agent is designed to stop pneumonia in COVID-19 and other diseases. Sugar molecules make the drug particularly targeted.

A possible way to prevent or treat lung damage associated with long COVID

A team of medical researchers at Stanford University, working with a colleague from the Institute of Biomedical Sciences in Taiwan, has discovered a possible way to prevent or treat lung damage associated with long COVID. In their study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group isolated genes associated with inciting an inflammatory overreaction to a COVID-19 infection in the lungs and turned them off in test mice to prevent lung damage.
