Scientists grow asthma lungs in lab to crack mucus mystery

NCT ID NCT05616338

Summary

This study aimed to create lab models of lung airways using stem cells from patients with severe asthma and a related fungal allergy (ABPA). Researchers took blood cells from 4 patients and turned them into lung tissue in a dish to study how harmful mucus plugs form. The goal was to validate this new model system to help future research understand these difficult-to-treat conditions better.
