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 ...

Peer-reviewed study confirming strong predictive performance of patient-specific lung digital twins, validated against ...

A multidisciplinary research team has identified a faster way to determine which airborne chemicals pose a threat to human lungs. Led by an environmental health researcher with the Texas A&M ...

Lung diseases like tuberculosis and cystic fibrosis can be difficult to treat. In part, that's because the two-dimensional models researchers use to study the diseases don't accurately reflect the ...

UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and ...

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).
