What if scientists could build a realistic model of the human lung, not full-sized, but grown in the lab from living cells?

The development could help scientists develop patient-specific treatments and one day offer a lab-grown lung transplant ...

On average, we breath around 20 times per minute, every minute and every hour, day, week, month and year of our lives. It is one of the first things we do immediately after birth and one of the last ...

Alveoli are the basic functional units of the human respiratory system, acting as tiny air sacs that exchange gases. Air inhaled through the mouth and nose flows into the lungs through the branched ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed lung tissue model that could help scientists better study and treat diseases.

Scientists announced this week that they have managed to keep a genetically modified pig lung alive inside a human body—although briefly—for the first time. The lung survived for nine days, marking ...

Taking a deep breath restores the ideal “layering” of lung fluids, according to a new experiment.

The Influenza A virus (IAV) has been the cause of six major flu pandemics, responsible for 50 to 100 million deaths globally.
