A team of researchers at Rockefeller University have developed the ability to grow replicas of human lungs, allowing them to study how infections affect the lungs and understand optimal treatments.

What if scientists could build a realistic model of the human lung, not full-sized, but grown in the lab from living cells? Why would they do this? VIDO scientists based at the University of ...

Blood clots in the lungs can prevent proper blood flow, which causes an increase in pressure in the affected blood vessels. This can lead to experiencing shortness of breath, chest pains, and have a ...

Though we’ve now been living with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, for close to five years, many aspects of its biology and pathology remain mysterious. This is not helped by the fact that ...

Researchers have built a lung in a lab that more accurately emulates the human lung than traditional models, opening the door to the fast-tracking of the discovery and development of drugs and a ...

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the laboratories of researchers at the University of Chicago who are working to improve our ...

Laura Niklason engineered working lungs in the lab by stripping the cells from rat lungs and repopulating the remaining structure with fresh cells. Don Ingber created a "lung on a chip," which mimics ...

Scientists have developed a pioneering new system that could revolutionise treatment for babies born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a life-threatening condition where abdominal organs ...

An international research team has found a simple method for growing lung tissue in the lab. These organoids could be used in diagnosis, drug development, and fundamental research. Laboratory studies ...
