Researchers say their model could save the lives of some lung transplant candidates who die while waiting for the organ. A team at the Cleveland Clinic has developed a new model for prioritizing lung ...

University of Delaware Assistant Professor Catherine Fromen and current graduate student Dominic Hoffman work with an adaptable lung model that can replicate realistic breathing maneuvers and offer ...

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 ...

What organ has the surface area of a tennis court, expands and contracts 17,000 times every day, and contains passageways that range from centimeter-sized tubes to vessels that are narrower than the ...

Respiratory diseases are a challenging problem to treat. Inhalable medicines are a promising solution that depend on the ability to deliver tiny particles known as aerosols to the correct location in ...

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 ...

The lung is one of the tissues most sensitive to radiation in the human body. People exposed to high radiation doses following nuclear incidents develop radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), which ...
