ULobe™ (Lung Lobes)
ULobe™ is a transplantable engineered lungs generated with a porcine lung scaffold and human allogeneic lung cells. Porcine lungs undergo a process of decellularization and washing prior to being recellularized with human allogeneic lung cells. Initial testing of ULobe is in the ex vivo perfusion setting with the intended clinical use to be a lung transplant.
ULobe represents a potential cure for end-stage lung disease and is an engineered product that creates a functional tissue that can participate in blood flow and gas exchange and require limited supportive therapies post lung transplant.
ULobe™ is a development-stage product not approved for sale in any jurisdiction.
