How airway cells work together in regeneration and aging.

The growing worldwide epidemic of respiratory diseases can be attributed to simple everyday factors such as tobacco smoke, air pollution, occupational chemicals, or dust. These diseases involve the infection or … Continue Reading How airway cells work together in regeneration and aging.

Researchers led by Columbia Engineering demonstrate severely injured donor lungs declined for transplant can be recovered outside the body by a system utilizing cross-circulation of whole blood between the donated lung and an animal host. The team states human lungs unsuitable for transplant can be recovered using their new transgenic cross-circulation system, with the hope it may provide a much larger number of organ transplants to critically ill patients.

Severely damaged human lungs successfully recovered using transgenic system.

An extremely common condition rising at an alarming rate due to environmental and lifestyle causal elements, respiratory disease is the third leading cause of death worldwide. Despite the copious amounts … Continue Reading Severely damaged human lungs successfully recovered using transgenic system.

Researchers led by Imperial College identify the formation of quadruple helix DNA in healthy living human cells for the first time, tracking how it works, as well as its possible role in cancer. The team states they engineered a fluorescent marker possessing the ability to attach to quadruplex DNA in living human cells, allowing them to define for the first time how the structure forms and what role it plays in cells.
