Sep. 27, 2023 — Lung fibrosis is a debilitating disease affecting nearly 250,000 people in the U.S. alone with 50,000 new cases reported each year. There is currently no cure and limited ...

Researchers have been trying for decades to stop the cells that damage the lung in people with pulmonary fibrosis. Now a team of Columbia and UCSD researchers may have found a clever solution that ...

Researchers have developed a human in vitro model that closely mimics the complexities of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) and radiation dose sensitivity of the human lung. Using a previously ...
