Researchers created an ultrathin hydrogel artificial lung inspired by soap bubbles that reproduces the expansion and contraction of human alveoli. The model remained stable for ~240,000 breathing cycles and replicated cellular responses to influenza infection, providing a more realistic platform for studying lung diseases and testing respiratory therapies. https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adma.74372
