A Fully Biological Gas-Exchange Membrane toward a Biofabricated, Booster Lung
of surface area and maintained an air-liquid interface. Future work should examine cross-linking the collagen I for equally strong but thinner membranes (≤10 μm), transition to induced pluripotent stem cell cultures, and implement multichannel casting to increase the surface area needed for a biofabricated, intracorporeal, support lung.
