A brand-new engineering approach to generate "designer" biological robots using human lung cells is underway in Carnegie ...

Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt researchers have built the first lung-on-a-chip with a working immune system, a breakthrough with ...

Researchers have built a lung in a lab that more accurately emulates the human lung than traditional models, opening the door to the fast-tracking of the discovery and development of drugs and a ...

Through extracting microbial profiles of lung cancer tissues and combining single-cell analysis, it shows that the distribution of microbiota-related cells and microbiome are related to ...

Scientists announced this week that they have managed to keep a genetically modified pig lung alive inside a human body—although briefly—for the first time. The lung survived for nine days, marking ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, doctors in China transplanted a lung from a genetically modified pig into a brain-dead person. The recent experiment, described Monday (Aug. 25) in the journal ...

Scientists have, for the first time, transplanted a genetically engineered pig lung into a human. The lung tissue remained alive for nine days after the transplant despite early signs of inflammation, ...

A genetically modified pig lung was transplanted into a brain-dead man and functioned for nine days, according to a newly published report. There has been some recent success transplanting pig kidneys ...

The xenotransplantation comes on the heels of recent transplants of pig hearts and kidneys into medical patients. Scientists in China have reported transplanting a genetically modified pig lung into a ...
