Researchers Take Bold Steps Toward Engineering New Lungs for Transplant

June 3, 2015

(Lung Disease News) – A multidisciplinary team of researchers from Arizona State University’s (ASU) Biodesign Institute, have recently released results from a study that may have important implications for the future of the science of lung tissue bioengineering. The study, entitled, “Recellularization of Decellularized Lung Scaffolds Is Enhanced by Dynamic Suspension Culture,” utilized a novel bioengineering strategy to address the problems associated with organ transplantation, such as, donor organ shortage and possible adverse immune response of recipients.
