Human Lung Chip Speeds Drug Discovery for COVID-19 and Flu - Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News

A human lung chip is help scientists discover therapeutics for respiratory diseases like flu and COVID-19 by revealing how breathing impacts the lung's immune responses.

The lungs constant pattern of stretching and relaxing that accompanies breathing does more than allow for basic lung functioningit generates immune responses against invading viruses. Using a human l… [+7457 chars]
