The development could help scientists develop patient-specific treatments and one day offer a lab-grown lung transplant option.

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed lung tissue model that could help scientists better study and treat diseases.

A human cell culture model of the lung's most important immune cells, alveolar macrophages, helped make a key finding that is prompting researchers to rethink the role of another immune protein. A ...

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 ...
