Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...

However, people with other mutations in the CFTR gene, including those with variants that result in no proteins being made at all, cannot benefit from the drug. “Therefore, interest is being placed on ...

The development of gene editing tools, which enable the specific targeting and correction of mutations, hold the promise of allowing us to correct those mutations that cause genetic diseases. However, ...

In a recent study published in Nature, a team of researchers investigated the impact of aging on the tumor-initiating potential of alveolar type 2 (AT2) stem cells in the lungs. Using genetically ...
