	Watching Lungs Work Through a Crystal Ribcage
	

        Hadi Nia, Ph.D. wanted to learn about the inner workings of the lung in a way nobody had, but he knew he’d need something close to a crystal ball to see what was really happening. That idea, it turns out, wasn’t exactly far-fetched. Nia, an assistant professor in the Biomedical Engineering department at Boston University, already knew a thing or...

	Mini hearts in a dish: A big win for cardiac research
	

        Could we grow a human heart in a dish? It’s not that far-fetched. But before we go there, imagine looking at a blob the size of a sesame seed, rhythmically beating, and knowing it has the potential to unlock key mysteries surrounding the human heart. Scientists are now tapping into new stem cell-based technologies to grow highly complex 3D balls of...

	Making Strides to Address COPD in Rural Communities
	

        Each November, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) observes National COPD Awareness Month and World COPD Day. Short for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD is a serious lung disease that makes it harder to breathe and worsens over time. Of the nearly 16 million Americans who have been diagnosed with COPD, nearly 4 million...

	Eradicating Rheumatic Heart Disease
	

        In the United States and in many parts of the world, a strep throat infection can be treated early with penicillin and poses minimal health threats. However, for people living in areas with limited access to health care, an untreated infection can introduce serious health consequences. This includes developing into rheumatic heart disease , a...

	Stretchable electronics to map the inside of the heart? It’s not from a movie
	

        What if you could design a small piece of electronics that is both flexible and stretchable, is able to take high-resolution images of the electrical signals inside the heart, and cure a cardiac condition that impacts more than 35 million people worldwide? It may sound futuristic, but that’s exactly what NHLBI-funded researchers from Cornell are...

	An updated test measures how well "good cholesterol" works
	

        It’s the cholesterol we love to love – and for good reason. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, often called “good cholesterol,” removes extra cholesterol from the arteries by gobbling up early-forming plaque and transporting it to the liver, which flushes it out of the body. It’s an essential job: when too much plaque accumulates in the...

	SBIR success story: diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea at home
	

        Obstructive sleep apnea affects millions of adults worldwide, including more than 24 million in the United States. However, most cases, 90%, remain undiagnosed. The condition results from the upper airways becoming blocked while a person sleeps, which can reduce or stop airflow. As a result, people with obstructed airways can wake up multiple times...
