Embedding of Precision-Cut Lung Slices in Engineered Hydrogel Biomaterials Supports Extended Ex Vivo Culture
Precision-cut lung slices are very thin slices of lung tissue that can be kept alive in culture outside of the body and studied as a model for a variety of chronic pulmonary diseases. Unfortunately, slices alone are only viable for about a week, which is not enough time to study disease mechanisms and treatment. The … Continue reading Embedding of Precision-Cut Lung Slices in Engineered Hydrogel Biomaterials Supports Extended Ex Vivo Culture

American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference
By: Kolene E. Bailey, MD The American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference is the home of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep professionals, from those in the earliest stages of their careers to those whose research or strides in clinical care has gained them international recognition. This year we took a trip to Dallas, TX to … Continue reading American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference
Publication: Tissue-Informed Engineering Strategies for Modeling Human Pulmonary Diseases
Our review in APJ-Lung highlights how advances in lung tissue characterization reveal dynamic changes in the structure, mechanics and composition of the extracellular matrix in chronic pulmonary diseases, and how this information paves the way for tissue-informed engineering of more organotypic models of human pathology. We envision that engineering strategies using precision biomaterials and advanced … Continue reading Publication: Tissue-Informed Engineering Strategies for Modeling Human Pulmonary Diseases
