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 ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Lung macrophages play a pivotal role in diseases like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Two types of macrophages — the white blood cells that defend the body by killing microbes, ...

A novel iPSC-derived lung-on-chip model mimics human alveolar tissue, revealing macrophage-driven tuberculosis responses.

The chip can simulate breathing and lung disease for an individual, holding promise for testing personalized treatments for tuberculosis.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, a biomedical research centre based in London, and AlveoliX, a leading Swiss ...

Researchers have discovered a new population of macrophages, important innate immune cells that populate the lungs after injury caused by respiratory viruses. These macrophages are instrumental in ...

Researchers have developed an automated method for growing lung organoids, making the process more efficient. Organoids, clusters of cells that contain the same cell types as full-sized organs, offer ...

Lung-on-chip model made of cells derived from a single person furthers understanding of tuberculosis and potential ...
