“So, first you have the epithelial cells, then you have the fibroblasts – we are literally creating a mimic organ that is very much like actual human lungs.” The lung models are maintained ...

They then implanted the lungs into four live rats and ... effective at replicating the behavior of actual lung tissue. In testing, the human-lung mimic and a mouse lung showed very similar ...

Utilizing human lung and blood vessel cells ... taking place inside of it – kind of difficult to do with an actual lung. It will be used for testing the respiratory effects of environmental ...

The human Lung Alveolus Chip is a 2-channel microfluidic ... alveolar-capillary interface also experiences cyclic mechanical movements mimicking actual breathing motions. Importantly, this living ...

it’s to a real lung what a rubber chicken is to an actual hen. So United is also developing ways to impregnate the matrix with human cells so they’ll attach and burrow into it, bringing it alive.

About the size of a grade-schooler’s eraser, each artificial lung has little interior tubes where actual human cells are implanted. “You can think of them as avatars of human organs, if you will,” ...

Even though the pigs’ immune systems launched into action, exhibiting signs of inflammation and depositing antibodies on the donor lungs, the injured human lungs showed signs of improvement.

Human life-like in vitro model of radiation damage ... alveolar-capillary interface also experiences cyclic mechanical movements mimicking actual breathing motions. Importantly, this living breathing ...

Chest CT is taken at the maximum level of inhalation, but actual surgery is performed in a lung-depleted state with no air. For this reason, it is difficult to find the exact location of the lung ...
