  1. Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation

    The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is a United Kingdom British medical research charitable organization charity dedicated to the prevention and cure of lung cancer . The Foundation funds research into the early diagnosis of lung cancer and provides support to lung cancer patients and their families. It helps people to quit tobacco smoking and provides anti smoking education for children and young people. It also lobbies government to take action against smoking, and many people have seen it as being instrumental in outlawing smoking in virtually all enclosed public places across Britain by the summer of 2007. The organisation was originally set up in 1990 as The Lung Cancer Fund by Professor Ray Donnelly, a thoracic surgeon in Liverpool. Then in 1994 in recognition of the major contribution Roy Castle made to publicising the charity and raising funds to build a dedicated lung cancer research centre it was relaunched as the Roy Castle Cause For Hope Appeal later being renamed The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation in 1995, one year after his death. The centre was opened by Sir Cliff Richard in 1998. ref cite web url http news.bbc.co.uk 1 hi uk 91322.stm title Cancer centre fulfils Roy Castle s dream date 12 May 1998 work BBC News Online publisher BBC accessdate 2009 07 21 ref A history of the Foundation has been written by the founder, Professor Ray Donnelly.

  1. Lung on a chip

    Lung on a Chip is a complex, three dimensional model of a living, breathing human lung on a microchip. The device is made using human lung and blood vessel cells and it can predict absorption of airborne nanoparticles and mimic the inflammatory response triggered by microbial pathogens. It can be used to test the effects of environmental toxins, absorption of aerosolized therapeutics, and the safety and efficacy of new drugs. It is expected to become an alternative to animal testing. The lung on a chip places two layers of living tissues the lining of the lung s air sacs and the blood vessels that surround them across a porous, flexible boundary. Air is delivered to the lung lining cells, a rich culture medium flows in the capillary channel to mimic blood, and cyclic mechanical stretching is generated by a vacuum applied to the chambers adjacent to the cell culture channels to mimic breathing. The research findings for lung on a chip were published in the June 25, 2010, issue of Science, ref Cite web url http www.sciencemag.org cgi content abstract 328 5986 1662 title Reconstituting Organ Level Lung Functions on a Chip publisher Science date July 25, 2010 ref the academic journal of the American ... of the lung on a chip to inhaled living pathogens was tested by introducing E.
