Severe covid and flu infections may raise the risk of developing lung cancer years later, researchers at the University of ...

New research is examining what happens in the lungs after severe respiratory infections.

Severe COVID-19 and influenza infections can epigenetically reprogram lung and immune cells, creating a pro‑tumor environment that increases lung cancer risk, but vaccines may prevent this.

Conventional life support proved ineffective, as the necrotising lung tissue remained a primary source of systemic infection.

New research has identified the mechanism by which air pollution damages the lungs’ self-cleaning system, leaving us vulnerable to infection. In doing so, it has also identified a way to reverse that ...

After lung transplantation, infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa independently predicted antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), researchers found. Through a series of mouse-model studies, the researchers ...

Severe COVID or flu may quietly raise lung cancer risk—but vaccines appear to stop the damage before it starts.

A severe case of COVID-19 or influenza could increase the risk of lung cancer later on, according to new research. Scientists discovered that serious viral infections can alter immune cells in the ...

A UVA Health study finds severe viral infections can prime the lungs for cancer, but vaccination appears to reduce that risk.
