From mouse to human In 2017, the UCSF team found cells in the mouse lung making 50% of the mouse’s platelets. They also discovered lung stem cells in mice that made all the constituents of blood, ...

"Our goal was to create a more physiologically relevant in vitro model of the human airway," says Dr. Osei, who also works with UBC's Center for Heart Lung Innovation.

A human cell culture model of the lung's most important immune cells, alveolar macrophages, helped make a key finding that is prompting researchers to rethink the role of another immune protein.

Researchers have shown that the IGFBP3 protein plays a relevant role in human lung development. The results of the study, which used organoids derived from embryonic lungs, open up new ...

Using human lung organoids, the researchers have been able to elucidate the infection strategies of Pseudomonas. However, it remains unclear how the pathogens adapt their behavior during the ...

CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. researchers have begun testing drugs using a microchip lined with living cells that replicates many of the features of a human lung, a technology that may one day help ...

Acosta-Plasencia, M., et al. (2024). Discovering genes and microRNAs involved in human lung development unveils IGFBP3/miR-34a dynamics and their relevance for alveolar differentiation. Stem Cell ...

Human mini-lungs grown by University of Manchester scientists can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials. The study at the University’s NanoCell Biology Lab at the ...
