If you smoke, you damage your lung tissue, and then lung cancer arises.

And the cancer, the body is saying the lung tissue is damaged, we need to repair the lung. And cancer is originating in the lung trying to repair because you have this excessive proliferation of these remarkable cells that really have the potential to become lung tissue.

If somehow we can cause these cells to differentiate to become bone tissue, lung tissue, liver tissue, whatever that cancer has been put there to do it would be a repair process. We'd end up better than we were before cancer.

The volume of a lung is very small, but what about the area of the lung?

Taxing Tissue

He died of lung cancer.

How do you say lung ?

So, tissue design.

We knew it wasn't lung cancer.

My father died of lung cancer.

This can also cause lung cancer.

You're looking at her open lung biopsy.

Now a lung is something very strange.

He is afraid of getting lung cancer.

Now look at that. That's a real lung.

Nina Tandon Caring for engineered tissue

She was diagnosed with lung cancer five years ago.

My left lung had collapsed when I was born.

Charity Tillemann Dick Singing after a double lung transplant

Totally by coincidence, there's that thing in my lung.

It's also older women with dense tissue.

What we do is humanize the tissue.

Human tissue is made up of cells.

In this scene, people are living in an iron lung.

Or polio? How many of you remember the iron lung?

Three years ago, she entered the Novocure lung cancer trial.

Traditional dating methods usually use calcified tissue of animals. Some fins can use fins, but this calcified tissue is very scarce in Greenland sharks.

There's a container underneath that's collecting that tissue.

We can do it without harming any tissue.

China just launched a national tissue engineering center.

It's bringing the cells into the body. It's allowing the cells to regenerate new tissue, and once the tissue is regenerated the scaffold goes away.

BD Novocure's also working on lung cancer as the second target.

A normal lung is all sort of dark and black here.

And you see there, it gets reintegrated in tissue.

I think I'm gonna sneeze. Give me a tissue.

So, this is indeed made of human bone tissue.

And that's great when I can degrade the tissue.

We then put bone and tissue from the back.

He can actually grow beating tissue in a dish.

We're also selecting for brains in which we can get the tissue, we can get consent to take the tissue within 24 hours of time of death.

And according to them, this creates an artificial lung in the filter.

You do an open lung biopsy when you've got no other options.

In contrast, deaths due to lung cancer have declined significantly among men.

Instead of allowing donors to claim individual compensation for their tissue, a tax would be imposed every time a tissue based application actually yields a profit. This would be fair , as it would ensure collective compensation for the use of tissue in general, rather than for individual tissue donors, and it would be wise in that it would not block scientific and technological progress.

And you see here a picture of a tissue section.
