Immune cells play an active and intimate role in directing the growth of human lung tissue during development, researchers find, revolutionising our understanding of early lung development and the ...

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 ...

But new research shows the lungs don’t follow that rule. A study in Nature Communications reveals that certain lung cells are ...

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 ...

UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells — complete with their own functioning blood vessel networks. The groundbreaking work, detailed in Cell, marks the first time ...

A new human lung ageing atlas reveals cell-specific changes, mutation buildup, and declining lung repair capacity linked to ...

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 ...

Toby Maher, MD, PhD, professor of clinical medicine, Keck Medicine of USC, discusses the impact of changes in lung function in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). How does the rate of ...

Scientists have developed a step-by-step blueprint to create advanced human lung models in the lab, which they say will accelerate the discovery and development of new drugs and reduce reliance on ...
