The lung is a highly specialised organ that develops through a complex series of branching events and cellular differentiation processes. From the initial budding of the foregut, the formation of ...

Immune cells play an active and intimate role in directing the growth of human lung tissue during development, researchers find, revolutionizing our understanding of early lung development and the ...

An international research group has combined advanced single-cell technologies with studies in lung organoids to map the development of early human lung immune cells over time. Their results, which ...

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 ...

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 ...
