Bottling a mouse ‘superpower’ may heal lungs damaged by premature birth: study

Watch the video to hear Jennifer Sucre, MD, talk about how this study upends what people are taught about how the lung develops.

Using a four-dimensional microscopy technique, researchers at Vanderbilt have created 3D video images of mouse lung tissue grown in the laboratory.

An AI-driven rendering and analysis of a holotomography-based 3D reconstruction of a tumor tissue sample derived from a spatial molecular experimental platform. Cancer cells (blue), stromal cells (green), and immune cells (red) are highlighted, while the extracellular matrix (ECM) appears in translucent green with a green arrow indicating its orientation. By integrating spatial molecular measurements, this approach offers single-cell and subcellular functional characterization, providing key insights into cellular interactions and communication in a three-dimensional context to deepen our understanding of the tissue’s architecture and composition.
