This research explores asthma by recreating lung airways using 3D bioprinting. By simulating low-oxygen conditions and imaging structural changes, it investigates how exaggerated immune responses narrow airways. These models enable detailed study of disease mechanisms and offer a platform to develop treatments, ultimately advancing efforts toward preventing or curing asthma.

This research investigates how painted turtles survive months without oxygen through epigenetic regulation. By identifying gene-switching mechanisms, it aims to uncover biological strategies for extreme hypoxia tolerance. These insights could inform medical, environmental, and space applications, potentially extending human survival in low-oxygen conditions and advancing fields like transplantation and exploration.
