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 ...

In this video, I use a fun and easy model to break down how your lungs really work. With just a straw, a cup, and some balloons, I help you visualize the respiratory system and explain why breathing ...

Researchers from Australia and Bangladesh have developed an artificial intelligence model capable of spotting and distinguishing between multiple types of lung disease. Called LungNet, the tool ...

A new study published in Nature Communications introduces a multimodal multitask foundation model that significantly enhances the capabilities of low-dose CT. This AI model improves the prediction of ...

Researchers have developed a human in vitro model that closely mimics the complexities of radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) and radiation dose sensitivity of the human lung. Using a previously ...

UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and ...

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 ...

The Modelling-Informed Medicine Centre will create computer models or digital twins of organs and diseases to better understand how diseases of the lungs, liver, and kidneys progress, to discover and ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...
