Tracking Airborne Particles on Their Journey Through Your Lungs
In a paper published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, “Real time single particle imaging of functional lungs reveals mosaic-like patterns of aerosol deposition in alveoli,” Gabrielle Grifno, a doctoral student in Nia Lab, used the Crystal Ribcage to identify previously unrecognized details in the lung at the level of individual alveoli (air sacs). “The crystal ribcage technology was essential to this discovery, as it enabled single-particle imaging of the intact, functioning lung in real-time at a scale not previously possible,” said Nia.
