The development could help scientists develop patient-specific treatments and one day offer a lab-grown lung transplant ...

A model that can perfectly mimic human lungs would be “a game-changer” for lung treatment, allowing researchers to gain more ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed lung tissue model that could help scientists better study and treat diseases.

The Mobile Aerosol Lung Deposition Apparatus (MALDA) is used to gather on-site date to study occupational and environmental health exposures on our lungs.

The warmer temperature and blooming flowers signal the arrival of spring. However, worries about respiratory diseases are also on the rise due to fine dust and viruses. The lung, which is vital to ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON, March 23, 2021 -- According to the National Institutes of Health, respiratory viruses are the most frequent cause of disease and death in humans, a fact highlighted by the COVID-19 ...

But only when it’s exposing 3D bioprinted material that mimics lung tissue to cigarette smoke to show that it reacts just like human lung tissue would, by getting irritated and inflamed. That was a ...

The mere motions of breathing are known to influence vital functions of the lungs, including their development in babies, the production of air-exchange-enhancing fluid on their inner surfaces, and ...
