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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have, for the first time, transplanted a genetically engineered pig lung into a human. The lung tissue remained alive for nine days after the transplant despite early signs of inflammation, ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...

Pneumonia is responsible for a tremendous burden of disease worldwide. In the U.S., it is a leading cause of death due to infection, especially for those of advanced age. For survivors, pneumonia's ...

A new bibliometric analysis of more than 1,000 publications shows research linking gut microbiota to lung injury surged after ...

Researchers reveal critical mechanism behind idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Rutgers Health researchers have discovered that networks of misplaced immune cells drive an aggressive lung disease, ...

"Can't we find lung cancer earlier?""Will we be able to examine lung cancer in detail with MRI instead of CT?""Is it really possible to create a contrast agent that finds only cancer cells?"In October ...
