Researchers develop breakthrough immunity-equipped lung-on-a-chip system to model severe influenza responses
A new lung-on-a-chip system that includes immune responses that mimic what occurs in the human body may help vastly advance pre-clinical efforts to investigate treatments for severe viral infections like influenza. Organ-on-a-chip models—essentially microscopic versions of a lung, heart or other essential human tissues—allow researchers to investigate various aspects… Read MoreSep. 24, 2025
