Miniature lungs provide a human model to screen drugs, understand gene function, generate transplantable tissue and study respiratory diseases.
The numbers highlight the need for new, physiologically relevant models for translational lung research.
Lab-grown lungs can help because they provide a human model to screen drugs, understand gene function, generate transplantable tissue and study complex human diseases, such as asthma.
Novel Virus That Could Cause Respiratory Disease in Ball Pythons Identified
A novel virus that could be the source of a severe, sometimes fatal respiratory disease that has been observed in captive ball pythons since the 1990s has been discovered by scientists.
