Pulmonary sarcoidosis is a condition that causes tiny groups of immune cells to clump in your lungs. These groups of cells form swollen, inflamed lumps called granulomas. Granulomas can make it hard ...

MicroCT of infected human lung tissue, along with histology and immunohistochemistry, was used to construct images of TB granulomas, airways and vasculature. For 70 years, clinicians thought they knew ...

Granulomas are tissue nodules of immune cells that occur in diseases such as tuberculosis and sarcoidosis and can damage many organs. For the first time, a team of researchers at MedUni Vienna has ...

Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection that can cause swelling, inflammation, and, sometimes, small semi-opaque or calcified nodules on the lungs. However, histoplasmosis does not always cause symptoms.

A research project supported by the National Institutes of Health has developed a tool to rapidly and inexpensively diagnose sarcoidosis, a chronic inflammatory disease marked by the growth of tiny ...

One of the main challenges for tuberculosis (TB) therapy is how to deliver drugs to the site of disease. Once the body’s immune system is infected with tuberculosis, it forms granulomas—tight clusters ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Gross anatomy reveals three-dimensional shapes of pathology at a large scale. Histology, in contrast, reveals the microscopic anatomy of biological structures. But that ...

NORTH PLAINFIELD, N.J. (WPVI) -- The immune system helps protect us against disease, but sometimes, it becomes the source of trouble. That's the case with sarcoidosis. "I apparently had it since I was ...
