Breathtaking Breakthrough: Lung-on-a-Chip Defends Itself | News Center
The lung mounted an immune response that closely mirrored what doctors see in patients.
Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt researchers have built the first lung‑on‑a‑chip with a working immune system, enabling realistic disease modeling and reducing reliance on animal testing.
This platform allows researchers to observe human‑like immune responses to infections, offering a more accurate model for studying diseases and testing therapeutics.
