Research by the University of Cambridge and University of Strathclyde reveals that cilia in the respiratory tract generate ...

An international team of researchers, led by the University of Exeter, have been awarded a Wellcome Discovery Award grant of ...

Scientists have discovered a previously unrecognized way that human airways protect lungs from infection—through the action of cilia, tiny hair-like structures lining the respiratory tract.

One of the problems of conventional filters used in homes, businesses and public spaces is their poor performance. They rely ...

Engineers in South Korea developed a bioinspired air filter that mimics nasal mucus, trapping more particles and lasting ...

Mouth taping has become an internet star even though science has yet to prove its benefit — and has shown it can do harm.

Humans have five senses, first assigned by philosopher Aristotle: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. But the list is much longer when it comes to senses across species. We’re not talking about ...

Although the respiratory system is one of the main entry points for microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) from the air into ...

Researchers are making ever more sophisticated mini organs in the lab — and now they can grow their own blood vessels. The ...

UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators have identified a previously overlooked protein, Epac1, as a key driver of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic ...

Although the respiratory system is one of the main entry points for microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) from the air into the body, little is known about the effects of these tiny particles on the ...
