Air sacs in the lungs called alveoli are crucial for gas exchange and provide an important barrier against inhaled viruses and bacteria that cause respiratory diseases like flu and tuberculosis (TB).

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 ...

3D-printed lungs made with living cells could help to improve lung disease prevention and treatment—and potentially one day offer a lab-grown option for use in organ transplants. University of ...
