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.

Researchers have shown that the IGFBP3 protein plays a relevant role in human lung development. The results of the study, which used organoids derived from embryonic lungs, open up new perspectives on ...

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).

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

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 ...

A team of scientists at the Institute for Cell Biology (Cancer Research), University of Duisburg-Essen, has developed a simple method for the automated manufacture of induced pluripotent stem cell ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, a biomedical research centre based in London, and AlveoliX, a leading Swiss ...

The tantalizing potential of pig-to-human transplantation, or xenotransplantation, has reached another frontier. For the first time ever, scientists have transplanted a genetically edited pig lung ...

Scientists have, for the first time, transplanted a genetically engineered pig lung into a human. The lung tissue remained alive for nine days after the transplant despite early signs of inflammation, ...
