A paralyzed military veteran is one of seven people in the country — and the first patient at a Miami hospital — to be implanted with an Elon Musk-backed brain chip as part of a clinical trial ...

Caveats accompanied the findings. "Blind leaps from the detection of tumors to the prediction of human health risk should be avoided," one study cautioned. Also, because none of the studies had a ...

Traditional animal models and simplified cell cultures often fail to capture human biology, limiting progress in biomedical research and drug development. Emerging microfluidic "Organ-on-Chip" ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells taken from only one person.

Air sacs in the lungs called alveoli are crucial for gas exchange and provide an important barrier against inhaled viruses and bacteria that cause respiratory diseases like flu and tuberculosis (TB).
