University of Delaware Assistant Professor Catherine Fromen and current graduate student Dominic Hoffman work with an adaptable lung model that can replicate realistic breathing maneuvers and offer ...

What organ has the surface area of a tennis court, expands and contracts 17,000 times every day, and contains passageways that range from centimeter-sized tubes to vessels that are narrower than the ...

Scientists are now able to directly compare the different kinds of injury that mechanical ventilation causes to cells in the lungs. In a new study, using a ventilator-on-a-chip model, researchers ...

Respiratory diseases are a challenging problem to treat. Inhalable medicines are a promising solution that depend on the ability to deliver tiny particles known as aerosols to the correct location in ...

This schematic shows how the small airsacs of the lung called alveoli, specifically the alveolar-capillary interface that is the major site of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is modeled on the ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from McMaster and SickKids are developing a cutting-edge lung model that can better respond to viruses and drug treatments, giving scientists a tool to advance ...
