Prehistoric fish: coelacanths heard underwater using their lungs

How did ancient fish perceive their environment in the deep-sea? An international team led by scientists from the Natural History Museum of Geneva (MHNG) and the University of Geneva (UNIGE) reveals that some coelacanths – fish living 240 million years ago – used their lung to detect sounds underwater. These findings, published in the journal Communications Biology, were obtained using synchrotron imaging, an especially powerful X-ray technique. They shed new light on the evolution of sensory systems in vertebrates.

"A custom built artificial lung system kept a patient alive long enough to enable a double lung transplant. The surgery involved temporarily replacing the patient's entire pulmonary system with a synthetic surrogate. The patient lived for two days without #lungs. They received donor lungs after 48 hours, when their body was no longer suffering from #sepsis. The patient has returned to a normal, independent life with excellent lung function."
