In some asthmatics, aeroallergens could trigger an asthma attack, or potentially worsen other respiratory diseases. When dust is airborne, it can remain in the air for long periods of time and settle throughout an indoor space. ...
Yang, L., et al (2024) introduces LungVis 1.0, an AI-driven imaging platform integrating light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) and deep learning for mapping nanoparticle (NP) deposition across murine lungs. The research highlights the advantages of aerosol-based delivery methods over traditional liquid-based approaches, emphasizing the uniformity of NP deposition in distal alveolar ...
Kelly will share insights into her research findings about targeted therapies for one of the most challenging respiratory diseases. "PDCs have emerged as a new tool for targeted therapy. ...
Obtaining viable single cells from lung tissue is essential for understanding respiratory function and disease mechanisms. Despite its importance, isolating these cells remains challenging. ...
The incidence of landscape fires has been rising globally, leading to increased exposure to landscape fire smoke (LFS) among millions of people. The inhalation of particulate matter (PM) from LFS is associated with adverse respiratory and cardiovascular outcomes. However, the mechanisms by which LFS impacts these functions remain inadequately understood. This blog focuses on a new ...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released new guidance for preventing the spread of infections in K-12 schools. ...
Recent advances in the fight against severe acute inflammatory lung diseases, including COVID-19, have revealed a promising new approach to treating pulmonary hyperinflammation and long-term lung damage such as fibrosis. A groundbreaking study has developed a first-in-class, carbohydrate-coupled inhibitor of microRNA-21 (RCS-21), which shows significant potential as a therapeutic agent. This ...
In humans, 88 human adenoviruses have been identified in seven populations (A through G) and more than 50 different adenovirus serotypes have been identified, causing a wide range of diseases from mild respiratory infections in young children to life-threatening multi-organ disease in people with compromised immune systems. ...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, makes breathing difficult for millions of Americans who have been diagnosed with the condition.

Epidermolysis bullosa, or EB, is a group of rare genetic skin diseases characterized by fragile skin that can lead to extensive blistering and wounding. It affects skin and mucous membranes, particularly of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary and respiratory systems. It is a debilitating disease affecting a small number of people, thus ...
These high-quality testing solutions cover infectious and transmissible disease areas – including respiratory, sexually transmitted infections, hospital acquired infections, and women’s health – and are designed to revolutionise turnaround times for results in almost any setting, bringing cost and time savings while improving patient management. ...
Food and Drug Administrations (‘FDA’) for development of its lead antiviral drug BIT225 as a potential treatment of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in adults. The FDA’s guidance was received in written response to Biotron’s pre-IND briefing package and request in March 2022, which included an overview of preclinical and (HIV) clinical ...
Oxygen is a life-saving therapeutic gas, which is often used to treat patients with severe pneumonia and other respiratory diseases. Oxygen generator is an electric medical equipment. ...
It also showed broad-spectrum antiviral activities, not only for SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, but also for other types of coronaviruses that cause diseases including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). ...
He thinks that combining advanced diagnostics with currently available therapeutics in a personalized medicine approach will greatly improve chronic respiratory care overall. “They are undertreated quite a lot,” he says of chronic respiratory disease patients in general, “They are coming to an end-stage, and there seems to be no ...
