Researchers at VIB and VUB have developed a powerful new way to study how the immune system behaves inside lung tumors. By ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human lung-on-chip model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...

A human cell culture model of the lung's most important immune cells, alveolar macrophages, helped make a key finding that is prompting researchers to rethink the role of another immune protein. A ...

A multidisciplinary research team has identified a faster way to determine which airborne chemicals pose a threat to human lungs. Led by an environmental health researcher with the Texas A&M ...

Belgian researchers at VIB and VUB have created a lung adenocarcinoma model that mimics human tumors, enabling precise mapping of immune cell behavior inside lung cancer. Using SEPARATE-Seq, they ...

SUMMARY. Tissue resident host responses to microbial infections in the respiratory tract are highly dynamic in space and time ...

Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt researchers have built the first lung-on-a-chip with a working immune system, a breakthrough with the potential to reshape how we study disease, move beyond animal testing, ...

Using a novel method, researchers tracked immune cells in lung tumors, revealing distinct locations and altered functions, ...

Air sacs in the lungs called alveoli are crucial for gas exchange and provide an important barrier against inhaled viruses and bacteria that cause respiratory diseases like flu and tuberculosis (TB).
