Scientists have created a model alveolar system that mimics the breathing action of the human lung and allows visualization of flow patterns within the alveoli. The chip they designed includes ...

Researchers have developed a second-generation lung-on-chip model with life-size dimension alveoli in a stretchable membrane, made of purely biological material. The new model reproduces key ...

In Biomicrofluidics, scientists in China created a model alveolar system that mimics the breathing action of the human lung and allows visualization of flow patterns within the alveoli. The chip ...

alveoli close alveoli Tiny air sacs in the lungs, where gas is exchanged during breathing. ... Parts of the model represent different parts of the respiratory system as shown here.

The new research published in PNAS used single-cell RNA sequencing analysis, protein expression studies, and a new lineage-tracing tool to reveal details of early lung formation in a fetal mouse ...

Interestingly, such Krt5+ pods were not found in the bleomycin-dependent lung fibrosis model. The investigators moved on to try and identify distal airway stem cells and evaluate their ...

The development of alveoli in organoids derived from mammary-gland tissue follows the same physical principles as the formation of discrete droplets in a water jet.

You have millions of tiny air sacs working in your lungs to get oxygen into your bloodstream and take carbon dioxide out. Read about alveoli function — how it impacts your health, and how your ...

The alveoli are microscopic, balloon-like structures in the lungs that play a crucial role in respiration. If they are damaged, they may be able to self-repair, but medical attention is key to ...
