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

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed lung tissue model that could help scientists better study and treat diseases.

The development could help scientists develop patient-specific treatments and one day offer a lab-grown lung transplant ...

On a clear polymer chip, soft and pliable like a gummy bear, a microscopic lung comes alive — expanding, circulating, and, for the first time, protecting itself like a living organ. “That was the ‘wow ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – 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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at UCSF identified a key cellular switch that plays a large role in pulmonary fibrosis, and found a way of ...

Scientists are now 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, researchers ...
