Detailed explanation-2: -Next, they grew blood vessels and lung tissue over the scaffold. This was done by placing each scaffold in a tank filled with liquid nutrients and cells taken from the future recipient animal. After 30 days in the bioreactor tank, the lab-grown lungs were ready for transplantation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Scientists at the University of Cambridge have successfully created ‘mini-lungs’ using stem cells derived from skin cells of patients with cystic fibrosis, and have shown that these can be used to test potential new drugs for this debilitating lung disease.
Detailed explanation-4: -70% to 85% of patients who underwent a Lung Transplant in India are completely satisfied with their transplanted Lung. However, the survival rate of individuals after 3 years of Lung Transplantation is approximately 55% to 70%.
