Q: What are you studying, where and with whom? Sharief: My research focuses on leveraging 3D printing to advance tools for pulmonary drug delivery testing. My work is centered in the Colburn Lab and ...

Scientists just took a major step forward towards 3D printed organs — with a new lung-like system full of air sacs can expand and contract, filling the same biological role as our lungs do by pumping ...

Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital have designed a 3D lung-on-a-chip model of the distal lung and alveolar structures. The goal is to better understand respiratory diseases, including ...

Scientists have overcome a major obstacle in the development of 3D printed tissue that can be used to replaced damaged or diseased organs. Using breakthrough techniques, the scientist’s 3D printed a ...

Physicians at Atlanta-based Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital have been piloting the use of digital 3D lung models during cancer surgery. The technology aims to make robotic-assisted thoracic surgery more ...

A 3D-printed replica of the lungs has been touring Greater Houston to help UTHealth Houston researchers study the health risks posed by small airborne particles that collect in the respiratory system.

University of Delaware Assistant Professor Catherine Fromen and current graduate student Dominic Hoffman work with an adaptable lung model that can replicate realistic breathing maneuvers and offer ...

Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist for CNET. When not wallowing in weird gear and iPad apps for cats, she can be found tinkering with her 1956 DeSoto. Human ...

A 3D bioengineered model of lung tissue is poking holes in decades worth of flat, Petri dish observations into how the deadly disease pulmonary fibrosis progresses. A 3D bioengineered model of lung ...

First-of-its-kind model replicates human alveolar lung tissue Allows researchers to study effects of COVID-19 on cell growth and development Provides insight as to how various drugs impact viral ...
