One of a pair of viscera occupying the pulmonary cavities of the thorax, the organs of respiration in which aeration of the blood takes place. As a rule, the right lung is slightly larger than the left and is divided into three lobes (an upper, a middle, and a lower or basal), while the left has two lobes (an upper and a lower or basal). Each lung is irregularly conical in shape, presenting a blunt upper extremity (the apex), a concave base following the curve of the diaphragm, an outer convex surface (costal surface), an inner or mediastinal surface (mediastinal surface), a thin and sharp anterior border, and a thick and rounded posterior border.

Trauma-Hemorrhagic Shock induced lung injury Rattus norvegicus |   RNA Expression The etiology of trauma-hemorrhage shock-induced acute lung injury has been difficult to elucidate due, at least in part, to the inability of in vivo studies to separate the non-injurious pulmonary effects of trauma-hemorrhage from the tissue to injurious ones. To circumvent this in vivo limitation, … Authors: Feinman R, Deitch EA, Aris VM et al. Organization: PHRI-UMNDJ Center For Applied Genomics S…

Hypermethylated genes in lung cancer Homo sapiens |   RNA Expression Promoter hypermethylation coupled with loss of heterozygosity at the same locus results in loss of gene function in many tumor cells. In an effort to identify new cancer-specific methylation markers, we employed a high throughput global expression profiling approach in lung cancer cells. Authors: Shames DS, Girard L, Gao B et al. Organization: UT Southwestern Hamon Center Minna 6000 …
