smoke causes parenchymal lung tissue damage, remodeling of small airways, airway obstruction, and a subsequent decline in lung function. Innate inflammatory immune cells, i.e. neutrophils and macrophages, and CD8+ T cells have been described to be considerably involved in lung tissue damage in COPD.…

that enables the detailed evaluation of fetal organs and tissue, demonstrating a reduction in lung volume in fetuses from SARS-CoV-2 pregnancies – as compared with fetuses from an uninfected reference cohort. “The fetuses of pregnant women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 had an overall lower lung…

pulmonary fibrosis, for which there is still no effective treatment method, the lung tissue becomes increasingly scarred so that those affected can no longer receive sufficient oxygen when breathing. Previous models for the representation and analysis of pulmonary fibrosis only examined the cells…

into the finest ramifications of our lungs. It is now a scientific consensus that this promotes chronic lung diseases in regions with high levels of air pollution. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around 7 million people die each year because of poor air quality. Researchers at the…
