Microlungs could bring an end to animal testing of new drugs (Image: courtesy of Dr Kelly BéruBé / School of Biosciences, Cardiff University) This microreactor chamber mixes and cures polymer beads into a microlung. The beads are produced from human lung tissue (Image: courtesy of Dr Kelly BéruBé / School of Biosciences, Cardiff University) Close-up of the surface of a health microlung (Image: courtesy of Dr Kelly BéruBé / School of Biosciences, Cardiff University) These polymer beads make up the microlungs (Image: courtesy of Dr Kelly BéruBé / School of Biosciences, Cardiff University)
“MICROLUNGS” grown from human tissue might one day help…
