# 2024 Heterogenous Lung Organoids |
Current lung organoid models face challenges in scalability and accuracy due to high costs, invasive procedures, and limited representation of lung regions. This project introduces a new approach using tracheal/bronchial and mesenchymal cells in hydrogels to create lung organoids that mature in just 21 days. These organoids replicate diverse lung structures and are effective for studying adult lung diseases and viral infections such as SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. This cost-effective, scalable model enhances drug testing and respiratory disease research
