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.

The frontiers of xenotransplantation have been further extended with a pig-to-human lung transplant, the first time an organ that is directly exposed to the external environment – with the associated ...

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

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).

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 ...

On a clear polymer chip, soft and pliable like a gummy bear, a microscopic lung comes alive - expanding, circulating, and, for the first time, protecting itself like a living organ. (Nanowerk News) On ...

An international research group has combined advanced single-cell technologies with studies in lung organoids to map the development of early human lung immune cells over time. Their results, which ...

It is a basic principle in biology- blood is made in the bone marrow. It’s where the cells(hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs))responsible for generating red blood ...

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is linked to smoking and requires early detection and accurate staging for effective treatment. Diagnosis involves imaging and biopsy, with the TNM system used to ...
