Scientists from A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (A*STAR IMCB) have identified why certain lung cancer cells ...

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 ...

The breakthrough comes amid global efforts to develop alternatives to animal testing and advance personalized medicine, which ...

The miniature lung provides insights into specific lung function and pathology, allowing doctors to design precise therapies according to patients’ genetic makeup. A breathing lung on a microchip? A ...

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 ...

Scientists are now able to directly compare the different kinds of injury that mechanical ventilation causes to cells in the lungs. In a new study, using a ventilator-on-a-chip model, researchers ...

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).

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 ...
