A lung-on-a-chip system emulates different regions of human lungs to help researchers understand respiratory infections.

Scientists at Kyoto University have developed a groundbreaking "lung-on-a-chip" that can mimic the distinct regions of human ...

Using iPSCs on microfluidic chips to unravel respiratory illnesses. Respiratory illnesses like COVID-19 have triggered multiple global pandemics and continue to strain healthcare systems worldwide.

New research finds that people are inhaling thousands of particles of plastic that “enter deep into our respiratory system” ...

Alveoli are the basic functional units of the human respiratory system, acting as tiny air sacs that exchange gases. Air inhaled through the mouth and nose flows into the lungs through the ...

WASHINGTON, June 9, 2020 -- Benchtop tools for studying the respiratory system misrepresent the interdependence between the diaphragm, abdomen and lungs. Meanwhile, computational models often hide ...

First, the model breathes in the same cyclic motion as an actual lung. That's key, Fromen said. The model also contains lattice structures to represent the entire volume and surface area of a lung.
