A tunable physiomimetic stretch system evaluated with precision cut lung slices and recellularized human lung scaffolds

Oskar Rosmark et al.

Summary: This study introduces a novel in vitro culture methodology that combines cyclic stretch with 3D cell culture platforms for better understanding of cell behavior. The researchers developed a device that mimics the breathing human lung and validated its effectiveness by culturing lung epithelial cells. The results showed that cyclic stretch increased the expression of the SFTPB gene, while the ECM environment lowered the expression of basement membrane protein genes. The device also showed good compatibility with rat lung tissue slices.

Endothelial Cell Orientation and Polarity Are Controlled by Shear Stress and VEGF Through Distinct Signaling Pathways

Anne-Clemence Vion et al.

Summary: Endothelial cells respond to mechanical and chemical stimuli in an interdependent manner, with the integration and activation of signaling pathways being dependent on the combination of stimuli. VEGFR2 functions as a sensor capable of integrating chemical and mechanical information simultaneously, with the underlying pathways and mechanisms activated depending on co-stimulation.

Reversed-engineered human alveolar lung-on-a-chip model

Di Huang et al.

Summary: This study introduces a physiologically relevant model of human pulmonary alveoli, utilizing a lung-on-a-chip platform with an inverse opal hydrogel structure and primary human alveolar epithelial cells. The integration of cyclic strain allows for biomimetic breathing events and investigation into pathological effects like smoking and SARS-CoV-2 pseudoviral infection. This unique method for reconstituting functional human pulmonary alveoli in vitro has the potential to advance research on physiological and pathological events in the distal lung.
