lungbased
Lungbased is an informal term used in biomedical and clinical contexts to describe approaches, technologies, or data centered on the lungs or the pulmonary system. It covers research that uses lung tissue, cells, or physiology as a primary basis, including diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The term is sometimes written as lung-based or described as pulmonary-based and is more commonly used as a descriptive label rather than a formal medical specialty.
In research, lungbased methods include lung-on-a-chip models and lung organoids that replicate alveolar mechanics, gas exchange,
In therapeutics, lungbased delivery refers to inhaled medications, nanoparticle-based inhalants, gene therapies delivered via the airway,
Limitations include anatomical complexity, heterogeneity of lung tissue, and challenges translating in vitro or animal models
