A novel iPSC-derived lung-on-chip model mimics human alveolar tissue, revealing macrophage-driven tuberculosis responses.

Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital have designed a 3D lung-on-a-chip model of the distal lung and alveolar structures. The goal is to better understand respiratory diseases, including ...

A recent study conducted by scientists from the Yokohama City University, Japan, has revealed that elevated alveolar endothelial injury markers in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with ...

In recent research on regenerative medicine, three-dimensional (3D) tissue reconstruction using the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS cell) differentiated cells has attracted attention. In this study ...

Researchers have developed a human in vitro model that closely mimics the complexities of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) and radiation dose sensitivity of the human lung. Using a previously ...

In a study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, an interdisciplinary team of researchers analyzed whether alveolar epithelial cell necrosis at an early stage of severe acute respiratory syndrome ...

You have millions of air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs. These air sacs move oxygen into your blood. Alveolar walls contain surfactant. This is a substance made of fats, proteins, and other substances.

First-of-its-kind model replicates human alveolar lung tissue Allows researchers to study effects of COVID-19 on cell growth and development Provides insight as to how various drugs impact viral ...
