Human ex vivo lung perfusion: a novel model to study human lung diseases

Abstract Experimental animal models to predict physiological responses to injury and stress in humans have inherent limitations. Therefore, the development of preclinical human models is of paramount importance. Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has typically been used to recondition donor lungs before...
