New research from Yale and MIT describes bioreactor to support whole lung regeneration

(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News) An innovative mechanical system that mimics the ventilation and blood flow in the chest cavity, housed in a specialized, sterile bioreactor, can support the growth of engineered whole lungs at human scale. Researchers designed this biomimetic environment to advance toward clinical application of whole lung regeneration for transplant using a patient's own cells, as described in BioResearch Open Access.
