"name": "How does the 3D lung tissue model aid lung cancer research?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "The 3D model,developed by Dr. Chelsea Magin, replicates lung tissue, allowing researchers to study lung cancer development and treatment responses more effectively than conventional petri dish methods. It allows for the examination of how different proteins in the lungs influence the initiation of lung cancer."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "Why are veterans at a higher risk for lung cancer?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Veterans face increased lung cancer risk due to occupational exposures like particulate matter from burn pits and diesel exhaust, combined with higher smoking rates compared to the general population. Nearly 1 million veterans are considered at high risk."

"name": "What is the role of hydrogels in the 3D lung model?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Hydrogels containing lung proteins are used to create the 3D model. These materials allow researchers to compare healthy lungs, lungs from smokers, and lungs from lung cancer patients, observing how different protein signatures influence cancer development and treatment effectiveness."
