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

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

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 ...

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

Grown in a dish from human stem cells, lung organoids are multicellular, three-dimensional structures that aim to recreate key features of human tissues such as cellular complexity and architecture.

Grown in a dish from human stem cells, lung organoids are multicellular, three-dimensional structures that aim to recreate key features of human tissues such as cellular complexity and architecture.

The anthrobots, each between 30 and 500 micrometers across and capable of surviving for up to two months, are made from cells taken from adult human lung tissue.

So one of the main directions in my lab is to be able to grow miniature human lung tissue and systems in the lab to study them. We want to create multicellular structures that mimic different parts of ...

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.
