Lung cancer research gets a breath of fresh air

(Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard) As reported in Cell Reports, a team at the Wyss Institute has leveraged its human Organs-on-Chips technology to develop human orthotopic lung cancer models using human lung small airway and alveoli chips. The study models central aspects of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in real time and high-resolution and offers a window on the biological tumor complexities.
