Respiratory diseases are a challenging problem to treat. Inhalable medicines are a promising solution that depends on the ability to deliver tiny particles known as aerosols to the correct location in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Biological assailants like fungi, bacteria, and viruses continuously test natural defenses that have evolved over millennia. Newer and stranger particles that originate from burning fuels, harmful ...

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 ...

Dr. Emmanuel Osei has developed a way to 3D print tissue that resembles a living lung. This work could change how lung disease is studied and improve health options for those living with the illness.
