Can lungs regenerate?

Lung Regeneration Capacity:

• Lungs have a limited ability to regenerate. They can repair minor injuries by regenerating certain cells in the airways and alveoli.

Limitations:

• Severe damage, such as from chronic diseases like emphysema or fibrosis, can lead to permanent scarring and loss of function.

Protective Measures:

• Avoid smoking, pollution, and infections to maintain lung health.

Consultation:

• For concerns about lung health, consult a pulmonologist for personalized advice and treatment options.
