Pulmonary fibrosis is a deadly disease in which the lungs become thickened and scarred, gradually losing their ability to ...

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

Lung diseases like tuberculosis and cystic fibrosis can be difficult to treat. In part, that's because the two-dimensional models researchers use to study the diseases don't accurately reflect the ...

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

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

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 ...

Researchers from Australia and Bangladesh have developed an artificial intelligence model capable of spotting and distinguishing between multiple types of lung disease. Called LungNet, the tool ...

Physicians at Atlanta-based Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital have been piloting the use of digital 3D lung models during cancer surgery. The technology aims to make robotic-assisted thoracic surgery more ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted our lives, claiming nearly 7.1 million lives globally. Scientists and medical professionals have been working tirelessly to understand the virus, its ...
