A study led by Professor Shimpei Gotoh (Department of Clinical Application), introduces a new culturing method to generate alveolar organoids suitable for medium- and high-throughput screening and ...

Professor Shimpei Gotoh and Junior Associate Professor Kazuo Takayama teamed up in study to construct a novel in vitro culture system for alveolar and airway epithelial cells, employing a biomaterials ...

In this episode, they describe the process of ventilation and gas exchange and the bodily adaptations that support these ...

Researchers from Zhejiang University have successfully constructed biomimetic alveoli outside the human body that can replicate the process of human breathing. How to simulate the diverse deformations ...

Researchers at the University of Liège (Belgium) have discovered a new population of macrophages, important innate immune cells that populate the lungs after injury caused by respiratory viruses.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an age-related disease with an unclear pathogenesis. The senescence and insufficient regeneration of alveolar epithelial cells are significant factors in the ...

Researchers have discovered a new population of macrophages, important innate immune cells that populate the lungs after injury caused by respiratory viruses. These macrophages are instrumental in ...

Myoepithelium plays an important role in mammary gland development, but less is known about the molecular mechanism underlying how myoepithelium controls acinus differentiation during gestation.

Researchers have discovered a novel approach for engrafting engineered cells into injured lung tissue. These findings may lead to new ways for treating lung diseases, such as emphysema, pulmonary ...

A new Yale-led study has found that stem cells migrate to help repair damaged lung cells caused by injuries such as viral or bacterial infections. The findings were published Feb. 19 in the journal ...
