Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt researchers have built the first lung-on-a-chip with a working immune system, a breakthrough with ...

Lung diseases like tuberculosis and cystic fibrosis can be difficult to treat. In part, that's because the two-dimensional models researchers use to study the diseases don't accurately reflect the ...

Scientists connect a genetically modified pig lung to a brain-dead human; it functioned for nine days before being rejected.

Scientists in China have reported transplanting a genetically modified pig lung into a human. The 39-year-old patient was a brain dead individual and the lungs were viable and functioning for nine ...

The tantalizing potential of pig-to-human transplantation, or xenotransplantation, has reached another frontier. For the first time ever, scientists have transplanted a genetically edited pig lung ...

For the first time in history, scientists in China have transplanted a lung from a genetically modified pig into a human patient. As detailed in a paper published in the journal Nature, the team of ...

A genetically modified pig lung remained viable and functional over a period of 9 days after being transplanted into a human recipient who had been declared brain dead, according to research published ...

On a clear polymer chip, soft and pliable like a gummy bear, a microscopic lung comes alive — expanding, circulating, and, for the first time, protecting itself like a living organ. “That was the ‘wow ...

Scientists announced this week that they have managed to keep a genetically modified pig lung alive inside a human body—although briefly—for the first time. The lung survived for nine days, marking ...

A brand-new engineering approach to generate "designer" biological robots using human lung cells is underway in Carnegie ...

The xenotransplantation comes on the heels of recent transplants of pig hearts and kidneys into medical patients. Scientists in China have reported transplanting a genetically modified pig lung into a ...
