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.

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).

Using human stem cells, scientists have created a miniature lung that mimics breathing and TB infection, opening new ...

For the first time, a breathing lung model has been made using cells from only one person. Announced on January 1, the development comes from researchers at the Francis Crick Institute in London and ...

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 ...

Lung diseases like emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are a leading cause of death worldwide. With the advent of COVID-19, these diseases have only become more prevalent. Despite the ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, a biomedical research centre based in London, and AlveoliX, a leading Swiss biotechnology centre, have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using ...

Three weeks ago Publisher Charles C. Thomas of Springfield, Ill. issued 1,500 copies of a small monograph called The Lung by Anatomist William Snow Miller of the University of Wisconsin. Price was ...

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 ...

A genetically modified pig lung remained viable and functional over a period of 9 days after being transplanted into a human recipient who had been declared brain dead, according to research published ...
