Using human lung organoids, the scientists have been able to elucidate the sophisticated infection strategies of Pseudomonas. However, it remains unclear how the pathogens adapt their behavior ...

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. Stem Cell ...

UCLA researchers have created the first lung organoids with organotypic blood vessel networks, marking a major advancement in modeling how lungs naturally develop in the human body. The vascularized ...

We can make all of these structures from a few cells from any individual person. Using special techniques, the Chen lab is able to grow small 3-D structures from lung cells that mimic the structure of ...

Lungs can float, the only organs that can float on water. Lungs can regenerate damaged tissue, to a small extent. A sneeze can expel air from the lungs at speeds up to 100 miles per hour.
