while preserving lung vasculature tagged posts

Functional vascularized lung grafts for lung bioengineering. Science Advances, 2017; DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.1700521

New approach to bioengineering lungs selectively treats epithelium that lines the lung airway, while preserving lung vasculature. A Columbia Engineering team is the first to successfully bioengineer a functional lung with perfusable and healthy vasculature in an ex vivo rodent lung. End-stage lung disease is the third leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 400,000 deaths per year in the US alone...
