Lung diseases like tuberculosis and cystic fibrosis can be difficult to treat. In part, that's because the two-dimensional models researchers use to study the diseases don't accurately reflect the ...

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

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 ...

UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and ...

The Mobile Aerosol Lung Deposition Apparatus (MALDA) is used to gather on-site date to study occupational and environmental health exposures on our lungs.

Two-dimensional (2D) culture models are commonly used in cancer research, but fail to recapitulate complex mechanical cues of native tissues. In this study, we developed an ex vivo three-dimensional ...

Interpretation of three-dimensional medical scans continues to be a demanding task in computer-assisted diagnostic systems. In this study we present a segmentation framework specifically designed for ...

Biological assailants like fungi, bacteria, and viruses continuously test natural defenses that have evolved over millennia. Newer and stranger particles that originate from burning fuels, harmful ...

LECLAIRE, Iowa (KWQC) - A nurse from LeClaire was the first lung-surgery patient to undergo a new procedure at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago. Tonni Richard’s doctor converted her CT scan into a 3D ...

A method has been reported by researchers from Tsinghua University in China, which enables the efficient and high-throughput production of lung cancer assembloids. These assembloids are ...

Lung diseases like emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are a leading cause of death worldwide. With the advent of COVID-19, these diseases have only become more prevalent. Despite the ...

Dr. Emmanuel Osei has developed a way to 3D print tissue that resembles a living lung. This work could change how lung disease is studied and improve health options for those living with the illness.
