#People with #lungcancer who undergo tumor removal #surgery, chronic obstructive pulmonary #disease (#COPD) is linked to a higher rate of postoperative #pulmonary complications and longer #hospital stays, including a greater need for intensive care unit (#ICU) treatment
#asthma
Lung-directed treatment with isthmin 1 (ISM1) a soluble signaling molecule naturally present in the #lungs reduced lung inflammation, suppressed emphysema development, and preserved lung function in a mouse model of chronic obstructive #pulmonary#disease (#COPD)

Exposure to respirable #crystalline silica tied to ‘unexpected surge’ in #black#lungdisease: Higher levels of crystalline silica were found in the lung #tissue of contemporary coal miners in the #US compared with the lung tissue of previous #generations of coal miners
#copd
#Patients with moderate-to-very severe chronic obstructive #pulmonary#disease (#COPD) and frequent flare-ups who were given astegolimab, a medicine in Genentech’s pipeline, reported a better #health-related quality of life than those taking a placebo

#US has identified a new cell type in the narrowest airways of the #lungs that, besides being involved in producing the mucus lining the airways, can give rise to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells, which are involved in lung #tissue repair and #regeneration#copd#asthma
Increased Mucus Protein From #Viruses Linked to Exacerbations: The levels of a mucus #protein called MUC5AC abnormally increased when a person gets a #viralinfection are associated with airway inflammatory responses & exacerbation severity in #people with #COPD#health#asthma
