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

This 1930s educational film provides a detailed exploration of the respiratory and excretory systems, combining live-action demonstrations, animations, and intertitles to illustrate human anatomy ...

A basic review of the anatomy, physiology and personal protective equipment related to the respiratory system.

Researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells – complete with their own functioning blood vessel ...

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

Researchers have created “anthrobots” out of human lung cells that are capable of moving independently and even healing damaged tissue ...

A new UCSF study shows that the human lungs have just as many blood-producing stem cells as bone marrow. These stem cells are a precious resource for a variety of therapies for conditions like ...

Human mini-lungs can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials. Though not expected to replace animal models completely, human organoids could soon lead to significant ...

Researchers of the University of Barcelona and the August Pi y Sunyer Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBAPS) have shown that the IGFBP3 protein plays a relevant role in human lung development.

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 ...
