Researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo, have developed a system that allows human lung ...

Researchers at National Jewish Health and collaborating institutions have uncovered a critical mechanism driving persistent ...

It is a basic principle in biology- blood is made in the bone marrow. It’s where the cells(hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs))responsible for generating red blood ...

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 ...

UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells—complete with their own functioning blood vessel networks. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates.

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. (Nanowerk News) On ...

The frontiers of xenotransplantation have been further extended with a pig-to-human lung transplant, the first time an organ that is directly exposed to the external environment – with the associated ...

This schematic shows how the small airsacs of the lung called alveoli, specifically the alveolar-capillary interface that is the major site of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is modeled on the ...

Air sacs in the lungs called alveoli are crucial for gas exchange and provide an important barrier against inhaled viruses and bacteria that cause respiratory diseases like flu and tuberculosis (TB).
