International Lung Researchers reach consensus on fundamental classifications for the treatment of Interstitial Lung Diseases. In an article published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, experts have also addressed and filled...
The open-source software is designed to enable efficient analysis of complex health data and to open up new perspectives for future discoveries. It aims to help identify hidden correlations and to significantly impact medical research...
A research team at Philipps University Marburg has discovered that small vesicles in pulmonary fibrosis transport a protein that impairs the lung's regenerative capacity. This protein could serve as a target for new therapies and...
The Thoraxklinik Heidelberg, a partner institution of the DZL at the TLRC site, is celebrating its 125th anniversary. With over 45,000 patients treated annually and approximately 2,000 surgeries performed, the clinic has developed into one...
DZL researcher Dr. Isis Fernandez receives an ERC Starting Grant for her research project on the early mechanisms of progressive lung fibrosis.
COPD, one of the most common lung diseases worldwide, is strongly linked to environmental factors. New research findings reveal how patients with COPD respond to environmental pollutants and what specific protective mechanisms in their airways...
A new research project is investigating how diets high in sugar and fat affect lung health at the molecular level and what consequences this may have for our entire respiratory system.
Researchers have analyzed the messenger molecule IL-33 in the airways of asthma and COPD patients. The findings suggest that former smokers, in particular, could benefit from potential therapies targeting IL-33.
A new study confirms the high predictive power of common risk models across different groups of pulmonary hypertension (PH). The research shows that these models, originally developed for pulmonary arterial hypertension, also provide reliable predictions...
The American Thoracic Society issues a statement led by Prof. Dr. Rajkumar Savai, highlighting the urgent need for further lung cancer research. The statement focuses on knowledge gaps and new opportunities for early detection of...
A new approach to better predict childhood asthma involves combining molecular markers, epidemiological factors, and allergic symptoms.
DZL-scientists identify two main types of heart impairment in COPD patients, which differently affect the risk of mortality. Therefore, precise diagnosis is crucial for developing targeted treatment approaches. A new study conducted by a research...
