It's amazing how far technology has come, back in the day who would've thought that we'd be able to replace our malfunctioning lungs with an artificial lung. Some researchers at the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) have come up with an easily portable and implantable artificial lung and here's the best part: it is said to work with regular air. Currently, artificial lungs required pure oxygen in order to function - patients can't use the lungs with regular air. Having to breathe pure oxygen meant that they need large tanks of oxygen in order to function - limiting their mobility.
Ubergizmo, Artificial lungs can replace our regular lungs in the future
