Researchers have identified how a common bacterium is able to manipulate the human immune system during respiratory infections and cause persistent illness. Researchers from The University of ...

Alveoli are the basic functional units of the human respiratory system, acting as tiny air sacs that exchange gases. Air inhaled through the mouth and nose flows into the lungs through the branched ...

Nicolás Catalán, coauthor of the research, with the three-dimensional model of the human upper respiratory tract. The mask in the background hides the 3D model to simulate any impact of the facial ...

Scientists have created a model alveolar system that mimics the breathing action of the human lung and allows visualization of flow patterns within the alveoli. The chip they designed includes tubes ...

In a recent study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, researchers review the sources of airborne microplastics (AMPs), as well as their presence and dispersal in the atmosphere, ...

A newly discovered cell was found hiding in the passageways of the human lungs, according to Live Science. And this cell may be crucial to the functionality of the respiratory system. According to a ...
