The other has built a microfluidic chip that mimics lung function, resulting in a biologically relevant model for testing medicines for lung disorders or conducting toxicity screens for nanoparticles.

Let's learn how to make a working lung! Step 4: Stretch the end of the balloon over the bottom of the bottle, and fix it there with tape. Step 5: Ask an adult to help you drill a hole in the ...

To better understand respiratory diseases and develop new drugs faster, investigators designed a 3D "lung-on-a-chip" model of the distal lung and alveolar structures, the tiny air sacs that take ...
