The lung is a highly specialised organ that develops through a complex series of branching events and cellular differentiation processes. From the initial budding of the foregut, the formation of ...

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 ...

If during a pregnancy a fetus grows below normal thresholds, at each week of gestation there is an increased risk that some of its organs may not develop properly, which can adversely affect the ...

UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells — complete with their own functioning blood vessel networks. The groundbreaking work, detailed in Cell, marks the first time ...

The study utilized spatial transcriptomics (10X Visium) to map gene expression from embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5) to postnatal day 0 (P0). This graphical abstract illustrates the comprehensive ...

Researchers of the University of Barcelona and the August Pi y Sunyer Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBAPS) have shown that the IGFBP3 protein plays a relevant role in human lung development. The ...

A team of scientists have developed a simple method for automated manufacturing of lung organoids which could revolutionize the development of treatments for lung disease. These organoids, miniature ...

This project is not being offered for the current term. Please check back next semester for updates. The research of our laboratory is focused on lung embryonic specification and especially lung ...

An abnormal BMI in children -- be it high or low -- can now be associated with impaired lung function, but if their BMI is normalized before they reach adulthood, the impairment can be offset, ...
