According to a National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), 2013 in the U.S., 25% people are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection due to pollution and it is the most common reason for patients to visit the doctors. Various research organizations are developing novel lung therapies for the treatment of critically ill patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). For instance, scientists at Draper Laboratory are using unique manufacturing techniques and chip technology to precisely mimic blood vessels in the lungs, to treat patients with lung failure.
Moreover, asthma is one of the prime conditions leading to respiratory diseases, which are characterized by recurring attacks of panting and wheezing. The severity and frequency of asthma varies according to individual. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2015, 25 million people (1 in 13) in the U.S. were suffering from asthma. Furthermore, 6.2 million people below the age of 18 years suffered from asthma.
