A model that can perfectly mimic human lungs would be “a game-changer” for lung treatment, allowing researchers to gain more ...

What if scientists could build a realistic model of the human lung, not full-sized, but grown in the lab from living cells?

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 ...

D printed lungs from USask enable advanced disease research - showing promise for improving the study of tuberculosis and cystic fibrosis.

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 ...

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 ...

Respiratory diseases are a challenging problem to treat. Inhalable medicines are a promising solution that depend on the ...

How do pathogens invade the lungs? Using human lung microtissues, a team has uncovered the strategy used by a dangerous pathogen. The bacterium targets specific lung cells and has developed a ...
