It took a broke medical student, a $20 fish tank, and a radical idea that could one day turn failed organs into brand-new ...

Scientists at Kyoto University have developed a groundbreaking "lung-on-a-chip" that can mimic the distinct regions of human lungs—airways and alveoli—to study how viruses like COVID-19 affect them ...

Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt researchers have built the first lung-on-a-chip with a working immune system, a breakthrough with the potential to reshape how we study disease, move beyond animal testing, ...

What if scientists could build a realistic model of the human lung, not full-sized, but grown in the lab from living cells? Why would they do this? VIDO scientists based at the University of ...

Lung diseases like tuberculosis and cystic fibrosis can be difficult to treat. In part, that's because the two-dimensional models researchers use to study the diseases don't accurately reflect the ...

UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and ...

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 ...
