Dr. Barnard explains how his research suggests that processed meat may negatively affect not only your heart health, but also your lung function.

Scientists have, for the first time, transplanted a genetically engineered pig lung into a human. The lung tissue remained alive for nine days after the transplant despite early signs of inflammation, ...

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 ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...

A genetically modified pig lung was transplanted into a brain-dead man and functioned for nine days, according to a newly published report. There has been some recent success transplanting pig kidneys ...

It is a basic principle in biology- blood is made in the bone marrow. It’s where the cells(hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs))responsible for generating red blood ...

Scientists at Kyoto University have developed a groundbreaking "lung-on-a-chip" that can mimic the distinct regions of human lungs—airways and alveoli—to study how viruses like COVID-19 affect them ...

NYU Langone researchers found that blocking a single protein in the body can trigger a form of self-destruction in lung ...

Researchers in China placed a lung from a genetically modified pig into a brain-dead man, with mixed results. By Roni Caryn Rabin Scientists have dreamed for centuries about using animal organs to ...
