Built using pluripotent stem cells, this tiny lung could help push science away from animal testing as well as open the doors ...

"The air sacs in the lungs are a critical first barrier against infections in humans, but we've traditionally looked at them ...

In a lab in the heart of Boston, professor Bree Aldridge leads a team of researchers trying to understand a threat that is both microscopic in size and global in consequence. The subject of Aldridge’s ...

Using human stem cells, scientists have created a miniature lung that mimics breathing and TB infection, opening new ...

The immune system remains seriously out-of-whack—in an inflammatory state of overactivation and impaired ...

Scientists have made a discovery that helps explain why humans and animals are so susceptible to contracting tuberculosis (TB ...

Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at ...

Researchers have identified a mechanism by which Mycobacterium tuberculosis exploits a key immune receptor to survive inside ...

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 ...

An international team co-led by the University of Exeter discovered that Mycobacterium tuberculosis hijacks the immune ...
