Human mini-lungs grown by University of Manchester scientists can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials. The study at the University’s NanoCell Biology Lab at the Centre ...

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, ...

Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common genetic disorders, causing thick mucus build-up in the lungs and other parts of the body, breathing problems, and infection. Now, researchers have developed a ...

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 ...

The tantalizing potential of pig-to-human transplantation, or xenotransplantation, has reached another frontier. For the first time ever, scientists have transplanted a genetically edited pig lung ...

Immune cells play an active and intimate role in directing the growth of human lung tissue during development, researchers find, revolutionizing our understanding of early lung development and the ...

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 ...
