The mammalian lung´ s structural design is optimized to serve its main function: gas
exchange. It takes place in the alveolar region (parenchyma) where air and blood are …

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease of primarily premature infants
that results from an imbalance between lung injury and repair in the developing lung. BPD is …

As with most medical and pharmacologic interventions, mechanical ventilation must be
titrated within a therapeutic window, providing the required lifesustaining support while …

Here, we describe a biomimetic microsystem that reconstitutes the critical functional alveolar-
capillary interface of the human lung. This bioinspired microdevice reproduces complex …

Pulmonary surfactant is an essential lipid–protein complex to maintain an operative
respiratory surface at the mammalian lungs. It reduces surface tension at the alveolar air …

The use of segmented flow in capillaries, also known as Taylor flow, for reaction engineering
purposes has soared in recent years. On the one hand, Taylor flow has been used in …

Recent advances in integrating microengineering and tissue engineering have enabled the
creation of promising microengineered physiological models, known as organ-on-a-chip …

Pulmonary surfactant (PS) is a complicated mixture of approximately 90% lipids and 10%
proteins. It plays an important role in maintaining normal respiratory mechanics by reducing …
