Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...

Human mini-lungs grown by University of Manchester scientists can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials. The study at the University’s NanoCell Biology Lab at the Centre ...

It is a basic principle in biology- blood is made in the bone marrow. It’s where the cells(hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs))responsible for generating red blood ...

Human mini-lungs grown by University of Manchester scientists can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials. The study is published in Nano Today. Though not expected to ...

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 ...

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 ...

A genetically modified pig lung was transplanted into a brain-dead man and functioned for nine days, according to a newly published report. There has been some recent success transplanting pig kidneys ...

Scientists have, for the first time, transplanted a genetically engineered pig lung into a human. The lung tissue remained alive for nine days after the transplant despite early signs of inflammation, ...
