Lung disease causes more than 200,000 deaths annually in the United States. Although the lung is generally considered slow to respond to disease and injury, it does undergo regenerative processes, most of which are not fully understood. Building an understanding of these processes might lead to harnessing these innate mechanisms to help damaged lungs repair.  Now, a study from researchers at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles … Continue reading Researchers develop tissue-engineered model of human lung and trachea.
