Although The artificial lung are just as effective as the natural  lungs.It is expected that one day  the artificial lung can be replaced  in a human body.
 

Usually, if the limb gets damaged due to the  disease, it is necessary to wait for the donor to replace it.Many times  patient died if they do not get a donor.But this technology will never  have to wait for the donor

Joan Nicholas, assistant director at  Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical  Branch, said that a complete body like lungs were first created and  replaced.There is no infection after transplantation and the organisms  that are transmitted to the lungs are also healthy.Usually,the organs  made in the laboratory is inactive within a few hours of  transplantation.But these lungs are active and effective after two  months.

In order to create this lung in laboratory, the  researchers first used a pair of pigs to make a mold or scaffold.Then as  a source, a lung from another pig is taken.After this 'patient'  bio-engineering in the form of pig's lungs, new lungs are formed and it  is replaced in the pig's body.

In all, six pairs of lungs were thus made.But due to complications of surgery, the lungs were replaced by only four pigs.

 Nicholas said that after the transplantation, the puffs are naturally  in the body of pigs, its growth are naturally.This method may require  more 5 to 8 years of examination to be possible in the human body.
