Manuka honey could help clear deadly drug-resistant lung infection

December 3, 2023 by Captain Organic Planet

A potential new treatment combining natural manuka honey with a widely used drug has been developed by scientists at Aston University to treat a potentially lethal lung infection and greatly reduce side effects of one of the current drugs used for its treatment. The findings, which are published in the journal Microbiology, show that the scientists in […]

Chemical In Many Air Fresheners May Reduce Lung Function

August 8, 2022 by Captain Organic Planet

Research shows that a chemical compound found in many air fresheners, toilet bowl cleaners, mothballs and other deodorizing products, may be harmful to the lungs. Human population studies at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), a part of the National Institutes of Health, found that exposure to a volatile organic compound (VOC), called […]

Microplastics found deep in the lungs of living humans for the first time

April 30, 2022 by Captain Organic Planet

A team of researchers from the University of Hull and Castle Hill Hospital, both in the U.K., has identified minute particles of plastic in lung tissue removed from live human patients, marking the first time such materials have been observed in living human patients. The group has published a paper describing their findings in the […]

CBD may help avert lung destruction in COVID-19, research suggests

April 9, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

Cannabidiol, or CBD, may help reduce the cytokine storm and excessive lung inflammation that is killing many patients with COVID-19, researchers say. While more work, including clinical trials to determine optimal dosage and timing, is needed before CBD becomes part of the treatment for COVID-19, researchers at the Dental College of Georgia and Medical College […]

Researchers determine how the SARS-CoV-2 virus hijacks and rapidly causes damage to human lung cells

December 8, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

In a multi-group collaborative involving the National Emerging Infectious Disease Laboratories (NEIDL), the Center for Regenerative Medicine (CReM), and the Center for Network Systems Biology (CNSB), scientists have reported the first map of the molecular responses of human lung cells to infection by SARS-CoV-2. By combining bioengineered human alveolar cells with sophisticated, highly precise mass […]

Big Tobacco knew radioactive particles in cigarettes posed cancer risk but kept quiet

November 19, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

Tobacco companies knew that cigarette smoke contained radioactive alpha particles for more than four decades and developed “deep and intimate” knowledge of these particles’ cancer-causing potential, but they deliberately kept their findings from the public, according to a new study by UCLA researchers.  The analysis of dozens of previously unexamined internal tobacco industry documents, made […]

Widely used e-cigarette flavoring impairs lung function

December 11, 2018 by Captain Organic Planet

A new study has found that a common e-cigarette flavoring that has chemical characteristics similar to toxic chemicals found in cigarette smoke disrupts an important mechanism of the lungs’ antibacterial defense system. “Our data suggest that when used in e-cigarettes cinnamaldehyde, like toxic aldehydes in cigarette smoke, significantly disrupts normal cell physiology in ways that […]

Tracking Hazardous Chemicals From Fast-Food Wrappers In The Body

July 21, 2017 by Captain Organic Planet

Research teams from the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s School of Medicine and the University of Notre Dame have developed a new method that enables researchers to radiolabel three forms of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances and track the fate of these chemicals when they enter the body. This is a significant and timely advancement […]

Bacteria In Smokeless Tobacco Products May Be A Health Concern

November 8, 2016 by Captain Organic Planet

Several species of bacteria found in smokeless tobacco products have been associated with opportunistic infections, according to a paper published August 26 in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, a journal of the American Society for Microbiology. Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus pumilus could potentially cause inflammation of the lungs, as well as opportunistic infections, said coauthor Steven Foley, PhD, research microbiologist, […]
