"Lung tissue" refers to the specific type of cells and fibers that make up the lungs, which are the organs involved in breathing. It includes all the different parts that help lungs function, such as air sacs and blood vessels.
Full definition
The lung sounds of pets with pneumonia may sound loud and harsh or may be soft, as air is not circulating through areas
of lung tissue affected by pneumonia.
This leads to a «back - up» of blood in the lungs, which can result in fluid leaking out of blood vessels and accumulating
in lung tissue, resulting in cough.

against lung tissue breakdown.

Rahman's study also shows that some flavored e-juices (particularly cinnamon) create more stress and toxicity
on lung tissue.
Pulmonary fibrosis occurs
when lung tissue becomes scarred, leading to loss of lung function and reduced oxygen supply to the blood.

examined lung tissue from affected monkeys by transmission electron microscopy, revealing abundant icosahedral particles characteristic of adenovirus filling the alveoli (Fig. 1D - 4).

normal lung tissue.
Biological material (blood, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and
lung tissue biopsies) will be collected upon diagnosis and different senescence markers will be assessed.

lung tissue for worm antigen (green), worm and macrophage bound lectin (red) and cell nuclei (blue).
Through a collaborative effort, scientists from Stockholm University, SciLifeLab, Karolinska Institute and the Leibniz Institute developed a procedure to analyze influenza virus infections in cells and
lung tissue by labeling and visualizing the viral genome.
Last summer bioengineers at Harvard University wrote in the journal Science that they had created a device that mimics a human lung: a porous membrane surrounded by human
lung tissue cells, which breathes, distributes nutrients to cells and initiates immune responses.
In these circumstances, cells from primary tumors in breast, colon, prostate, or other organs
invade lung tissue via the bloodstream.
Looking for the culprit, pathologist Jeffery Taubenberger, molecular biologist Ann Reid, and their colleagues at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, D.C., examined several dozen samples of
lung tissues taken from soldiers and preserved in their institute's archives.
Researchers have uncovered a
genetic lung tissue disorder in Dalmatians that is the likely cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome in dogs.
The multicentre trial included 153 patients with surgically - treatable malignant pleural mesothelioma, who were first treated with three chemotherapy cycles of cisplatin and pemetrexed, followed by surgical removal of
affected lung tissue, with the goal of complete removal of the cancerous areas of lung.
«We have also tested this process in human cells taken from
diseased lung tissue, and we see very similar results.»
Unfortunately, many infections are resistant to antibiotics, and during active TB some immune reactions
inflame lung tissue more than they fight infection.
Analysis of
lung tissue revealed a reduction in the mean linear intercept and other measures of lung destruction in MSC treated mice.
A tangle of virus and antibodies in their lungs activated an immune system component called complement, which failed to clear the mess and instead
attacked lung tissue.
Peering at Miceli's
lung tissue under a microscope, Lauridson was certain that severe asthma, combined with the way she was restrained at the jail, had caused her death.
Inflammatory processes in
lung tissue play a crucial role in the development of COPD.
Working with tissue samples from 16 seals, a team led by Seamus Kennedy of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Belfast, U.K.,
found lung tissue and epithelial cells riddled with microscopic lesions characteristic of morbillivirus infection — the viral group that includes CDV and a pathogen recently discovered in seals, phocine distemper virus.
The second study found that the strain's extreme virulence, targeting
primarily lung tissue, appeared to be linked to changes in four genes.
«It seems that TB tricks the immune system into damaging our
own lung tissue, which therefore makes the person highly infectious through coughing and the TB then spreads by aerosol droplets to other individuals.
Tuberculosis (TB) tricks the immune system into attacking the body's
lung tissue so the bacteria are allowed to spread to other people, new research from the University of Southampton suggests.
The experiments, including studies conducted in a bioengineered 3 - D model of
lung tissue seeded with relevant cells, showed that CHI3L1 regulates a pathway that recruits cells such as macrophages and fibroblasts that produce the scarring, or fibrosis.
Adult lung tissue that is regenerating: Type I cells are green; Type II cells are red, and new Type II derived from Type I cells are yellow.
