Researchers say in future it may be possible to grow personalized organoids from patient’s own tissue, to test potential treatments in advance.

A multidisciplinary team integrated clinical need, cancer biology, and microfluidic bioengineering to advance ...

A novel, automated method for manufacturing lung organoids could aid in the discovery of new lung disease therapies.

Respiratory infections such as COVID-19 have been responsible for numerous pandemics and have placed a substantial burden on healthcare systems. Such viruses can cause significant damage to our lungs, ...

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 ...

For the first time, scientists are able to directly compare the different kinds of injury that mechanical ventilation causes to cells in the lungs. In a new study, using a ventilator-on-a-chip model ...

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 ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...

Pneumonia remains highly unpredictable because patients with the same diagnosis and treatment often experience drastically different outcomes, and clinicians lack clear insight into why. Researchers ...

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 ...
