Texas A&M scientists use 3D bioprinting to study lung cells in extreme flight conditions

Texas A&M scientists developed a 3D bioprinting method to study lung cells under extreme flight conditions. This new technique uses bioinks with living cells to create realistic lung tissue models, allowing researchers to investigate how pressure and temperature changes affect cell viability and function. The research, funded by the U.S. Air Force, aims to improve aviation and spaceflight safety and accelerate studies into respiratory illnesses.
