Researchers have developed a human in vitro model that closely mimics the complexities of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) and radiation dose sensitivity of the human lung. Using a previously ...

The lung is one of the tissues most sensitive to radiation in the human body. People exposed to high radiation doses following nuclear incidents develop radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), which ...

Pharmaceutical R&D is hindered by high costs and low translatability of preclinical models, necessitating innovative approaches. Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) provides a platform for testing therapies ...

The largest and most comprehensive cell map of the human lung is announced in Nature Medicine today (8 June). Revealing the great diversity of cell types in the lung and key differences between health ...

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 ...
