University of Delaware Assistant Professor Catherine Fromen and current graduate student Dominic Hoffman work with an adaptable lung model that can replicate realistic breathing maneuvers and offer ...

3D-printed lungs made with living cells could help to improve lung disease prevention and treatment—and potentially one day offer a lab-grown option for use in organ transplants. University of ...

Respiratory diseases are a challenging problem to treat. Inhalable medicines are a promising solution that depend on the ability to deliver tiny particles known as aerosols to the correct location in ...

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 ...

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 first-of-its-kind 3D lung model could replace animals in inhalation toxicity research. PETA International Science Consortium Ltd (London, UK) – the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals – has ...

What organ has the surface area of a tennis court, expands and contracts 17,000 times every day, and contains passageways that range from centimeter-sized tubes to vessels that are narrower than the ...

WASHINGTON, DC (WABC) -- Here's a unique look inside the lungs of a patient infected with COVID-19. A doctor at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, DC used virtual reality to create ...

La Trobe University has used CT scans of a coronavirus-infected patient’s lungs to build a virtual 3D model of the infected organs, providing unique insight of the disease viewed through a HoloLens 2 ...

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 ...
