Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human lung-on-chip model using stem cells ...

Lung diseases like emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are a leading cause of death worldwide. With the advent of COVID-19, these diseases have only become more prevalent. Despite the ...

UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells — complete with their own functioning blood vessel networks. The groundbreaking work, detailed in Cell, marks the first time ...

Human mini-lungs grown by University of Manchester scientists can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials. The study at the University’s NanoCell Biology Lab at the Centre ...

3D-printed lungs made with living cells could help to improve lung disease prevention and treatment—and potentially one day offer a lab-grown option for use in organ transplants. University of ...

Scientists have developed a step-by-step blueprint to create advanced human lung models in the lab, which they say will accelerate the discovery and development of new drugs and reduce reliance on ...

Researchers in China placed a lung from a genetically modified pig into a brain-dead man, with mixed results. By Roni Caryn Rabin Scientists have dreamed for centuries about using animal organs to ...

Researchers have built a lung in a lab that more accurately emulates the human lung than traditional models, opening the door to the fast-tracking of the discovery and development of drugs and a ...

A new type of cell that resides deep within human lungs and may play a key role in human lung diseases has been discovered by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of ...
