Let's learn how to make a working lung! Step 4: Stretch the end of the balloon over the bottom of the bottle, and fix it there with tape. Step 5: Ask an adult to help you drill a hole in the ...

Healthy lungs are elastic, inflating and deflating like balloons as they take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. With COPD, that elasticity gradually erodes until the lungs can't deflate fully.

To model the balloon-like structure, they used Ecoflex, thin silicone elastomer sheets which are commonly used in the film industry. The team was challenged to find a material with roughly the same ...

In less than two days, the organ goes from flat balloon to fully formed lung. And the process is simple enough that Palmer could use his computational model to build a working replica in the lab.

A simple breath test device can detect lung cancer in a patient. The device can also describe the stage of cancer present in a patient.

The aim was to develop and validate a simple and non-invasive model which could assess and stratify lung cancer risk in female non-smokers in China.
