Finally, there are receptors in the lungs that detect the stretch that happens when they inflate and deflate. When you hold your breath and they stop stretching, alarm bells start to sound.

Aspartate’s dual role as both a biosynthesis metabolite and a signaling molecule in lung metastases opens new avenues for therapeutic intervention. Drugs targeting NMDA receptors or the ...

And I hate to get too technical, but just to make it really simple. If you have a cell, a lung cell that has a receptor on it -- say it's an ACE inhibitor. OK? And then you have a virus that can ...

The researchers hypothesized that the lung cysts formed via a CCL-2-mediated mechanism. With no CCR2 receptors to internalize their ligands, the patients had high CCL-2 levels, which could cause ...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, mainly because it gets detected late. The discovery by the ...

Your sense of taste doesn't end in your mouth: Cilia lining airways leading to the lungs express taste receptors and alter their undulations in the presence of bitter ...

Our approach of targeting IL-1β binding to its receptor using IL-1Ra was highly effective in preventing lung parenchymal thickening and impairment of alveolarization and partially effective in ...

Taiwanese researchers have linked higher survival rates and decreased tumor spread in patients with adenocarcinoma of the ...
