Paper follows statement by Zuo Wei that 'stem cell and progenitor cell-based regenerative medicine may be the biggest, if not the only, hope to cure COPD' During a six-minute walking test, the study ...

"As embryogenesis progresses, this protein needs to be silenced, which tells us that it is key to maintaining lung stem cells," the researcher adds. The study has also described the interaction ...

They then had them produce 3D models of the lung cells Covid-19 infects. Tiny artificial lungs grown in a lab from adult stem cells have allowed scientists to watch how coronavirus infects the ...

regenerative medicine is making strides in developing lungs from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), using interspecies animal models. Through a biological technique known as blastocyst complementation ...

Grown in a dish from human stem cells, lung organoids are multicellular, three-dimensional structures that aim to recreate key features of human tissues such as cellular complexity and architecture.

Researchers have shown that the IGFBP3 protein plays a relevant role in human lung development. The results of the study, which used organoids derived from embryonic lungs, open up new perspectives on ...

Researchers have developed a new imagining system to monitor pluripotent stem cells during incubation. The new device -- INSPCTOR -- uses lens-free imaging technology integrated with thin-film ...

An approach considering stem cell-based therapy of CF-injured lungs should achieve a permanent correction of the CF genetic defect. Lung injury is needed for engraftment of stem cells into the lung.

The Lee laboratory studies the mechanisms governing homeostatic turnover and reparative programs in stem cells, with a focus on elucidating how tissue perturbations lead to lung disease. We ...

At the oncological level, IGFBP3 could also have a relevant role in lung cancer, especially in relation to cancer stem cells. “We have observed that elevated levels of IGFBP3 in lung tumour ...

The key to regenerative medicine is the discovery of so-called ‘stem cells’ These are cells with the potential to develop into any type of cell - from a heart, to a lung to a skin cell.

the researchers found that lung SORT could achieve gene correction in nearly 50% of lung stem cells. "Our early results suggest that this technique could someday correct dysfunctional proteins in ...
