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 ...

A human cell culture model of the lung's most important immune cells, alveolar macrophages, helped make a key finding that is prompting researchers to rethink the role of another immune protein. A ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For the first time, a breathing lung model has been made using cells from only one person. Announced on January 1, the development ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science have developed a 3D lung model, providing a more accurate method for testing tuberculosis drugs.

Researchers have shown that the IGFBP3 protein plays a relevant role in human lung development. The results of the study, which used organoids derived from embryonic lungs, open up new perspectives on ...

The pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa breaching through the respiratory epithelia of a human lung microtissue model, captured via Scanning Electron Microscopy. How do pathogens invade the ...

Respiratory infections such as COVID-19 have been responsible for numerous pandemics and have placed a substantial burden on healthcare systems. Such viruses can cause significant damage to our lungs, ...

For decades, animal models have been the gold standard for preclinical testing of potential drugs. Yet, even the best animal models are not perfect. For example, small rodent species with engrafted ...

University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and Yale University School of Medicine, along with other collaborators, report that lung adenocarcinoma can engage nerve pathways that link the ...
