Birds are breathing in high levels of airborne microplastics into their lungs—and, likely, so are we, with unclear effects on our health. This is the warning of an international team of researchers, ...

But now, researchers at UC San Francisco are showing it’s also happening in the lungs. They found hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in human lung tissue that make red blood cells, as well as ...

The study in the European Respiratory Journal used advanced spatial mapping techniques to compare healthy lung tissues and ...

Researchers have found a potential new way to slow the progression of lung fibrosis and other fibrotic diseases by inhibiting ...

The human lung HSCs could also restore bone marrow in HSC-deficient mice. The discovery confirmed Looney’s earlier discovery that the mouse lung and bone marrow complemented one another in ...

From sweltering hot summer days to frigid winter nights, many people can experience exacerbations in respiratory symptoms of ...

In contrast, nanoplastics are below 0.001 millimeters in diameter, an order of magnitude smaller than human hairs are thick. The researchers' analysis showed that the birds' lungs contained high ...
