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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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.

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

Despite the impressive performance of current deep learning models in the field of medical imaging, transferring the lung segmentation task in X-ray images to clinical practice is still a pending task ...

Tessella Biosciences, a McMaster University-backed start-up, has produced a bioink that can be used to 3D print simulated lung tissue.

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