Experimental Lung Research
Experimental Lung Research (pronunciation: eks-pe-ri-men-tal lung ri-surch) is a specialized field of medical research that focuses on the study of the lung and its associated diseases.
Etymology
The term "Experimental Lung Research" is derived from the English language. "Experimental" comes from the Latin word "experimentum" which means trial or test, "Lung" is from the Old English "lungen" meaning the light, spongy organ of respiration, and "Research" is from the Middle French "recherche" which means to seek out or search closely.
Overview
Experimental Lung Research involves the use of laboratory techniques and clinical trials to understand the function of the lungs, the pathogenesis of lung diseases, and to develop new treatments. This field of research is crucial in the fight against lung diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma, Lung Cancer, and Pulmonary Fibrosis.
