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 ...

Cutting edge research at IISc, Bengaluru, is expected to arm India’s fight against TB as it still carries one of the world’s largest disease burdens.

A human cell culture model of the lung's most important immune cells, alveolar macrophages, helped make a key finding that is prompting researchers to rethink the role of another immune protein. A ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pharmaceutical R&D is hindered by high costs and low translatability of preclinical models, necessitating innovative approaches. Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) provides a platform for testing therapies ...

Domestic researchers have developed a new human lung model to replace animal testing. This is expected to overcome the limitations of existing animal models and contribute to increasing the precision ...

Researchers from the University of Barcelona and the August Pi y Sunyer Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBAPS) have shown that the IGFBP3 protein plays a relevant role in human lung development. The ...
