Texas A&M researchers 3D print living lung tissue to model extreme environments

Texas A&M researchers used 3D bioprinting to create living lung tissue models that can withstand extreme conditions. This innovation allows for more realistic studies of how lung cells react to pressures and temperatures found in flight and space, potentially improving safety protocols. The technology also offers new avenues for studying respiratory diseases and accelerating drug discovery, with potential for future on-demand bioengineered tissues.
