Yes, human lungs CAN grow back after being surgically removed, investigators showed in a new study.

The work was led by Harvard Medical School (HMS) Department of Medicine associate professor of medicine, James Butler.

"The research clearly shows that some form of lung growth can occur in the adult human. If we can discover the underlying bio-molecular mechanisms, they would suggest potential therapeutic options," Butler concludes.
