UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an ...

"The earliest stages of human development are ... better three-dimensional structure, improved cell survival and more mature development compared to previous lab-grown organ models. The team put the ...

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

Researchers are making ever more sophisticated mini organs in the lab — and now they can grow their own blood vessels. The ...

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 ...

UBC Okanagan develops 3D lung model to advance lung disease research, drug testing, and personalised medicine.

Using special techniques, the Chen lab is able to grow small 3-D structures from lung cells that mimic the structure of real human lungs - which helps them better understand how disease behaves in the ...

A team of researchers at UBC Okanagan has created a 3D-printed model of living lung tissue that closely mimics the real thing. This breakthrough could help scientists better understand lung diseases ...

Prime editing efficiently corrects cystic fibrosis mutation in human lung cells The approach targets the most common genetic cause of the disease and could enable a one-time treatment as effective ...

Researchers say they have found microplastics — tiny pieces of plastic debris that come as a result of the disposal of industrial waste — deep in the lungs of living humans for the first time ...

Home > Science Scientists Call For End to Animal Testing After Growing Human Lung Replicas The living replicas might offer a cheaper, ethical, and more accurate alternative to animal testing.
