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 ...

University of Delaware Assistant Professor Catherine Fromen and current graduate student Dominic Hoffman work with an adaptable lung model that can replicate realistic breathing maneuvers and offer ...

Physicians at Atlanta-based Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital have been piloting the use of digital 3D lung models during cancer surgery. The technology aims to make robotic-assisted thoracic surgery more ...

What organ has the surface area of a tennis court, expands and contracts 17,000 times every day, and contains passageways that range from centimeter-sized tubes to vessels that are narrower than the ...

A method has been reported by researchers from Tsinghua University in China, which enables the efficient and high-throughput production of lung cancer assembloids. These assembloids are ...

LSU Health New Orleans researchers developed 3D digital models from CT scans of COVID-19 patients to visually evaluate the distribution of the infection in patients’ respiratory systems. The research ...

Lung diseases kill millions of people around the world each year. Treatment options are limited, and animal models for studying these illnesses and experimental medications are inadequate. Now, ...

A 3D-printed replica of the lungs has been touring Greater Houston to help UTHealth Houston researchers study the health risks posed by small airborne particles that collect in the respiratory system.

Lung diseases like emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are a leading cause of death worldwide. With the advent of COVID-19, these diseases have only become more prevalent. Despite the ...
