UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells—complete with their own functioning blood vessel networks. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates.

For the first time, doctors changed the blood type of human lungs — an experimental step toward creating universal organs that could be transplanted into any patient, regardless of blood type ...

How do pathogens invade the lungs? Using human lung microtissues, a team has uncovered the strategy used by a dangerous pathogen. The bacterium targets specific lung cells and has developed a ...

Microplastics were found in human lung tissue – with the most common particles being polypropylene and PET, often used in plastic packaging.

Take a deep breath. Now, let’s go explore your lungs. Our lungs are not identical. Our right lung has three lobes, and the left lung only two to make room for our heart. Lungs are spongy, filled with ...

Mini-Lungs Closely Mirror Human Lung Development Researchers have grown miniature lungs from stem cells – complete with their own functioning blood vessel networks.

Human mini-lungs grown by University of Manchester scientists can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials.

Injured and unusable lungs were restored with respirators and pig blood. The procedure one day may increase the supply of organs for transplant.

The developing human lung has been mapped in unprecedented detail, identifying 144 cell states in the early stages of life, and uncovering new links between developmental cells and lung cancer.

Human artificial lungs design could soon arrive, thanks to a new study involving lizards. New artificial lungs design is now being developed by the researchers at the Princeton University.
