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 ...

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

At first glance, some people seem to have recovered from COVID-19. They no longer test positive and can return to work or ...

Long COVID destroys teenage lungs in ways doctors never saw - silent damage persists months after mild infections in developing adolescents.

By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a small, elusive, and often overlooked cellular appendage.

In a groundbreaking study, American researchers Peter A. Noble and Alex Pozhitkov have made a remarkable discovery about the behavior of cells after an organism’s death. Their experiments with frog ...

Meike Bos studied how the lungs discharge mucus. “Biology can be complex sometimes, but you can use physics to better understand complicated processes.” ...

The microscopic, hair-like structures called cilia act like the engines of cellular biology. They use a coordinated wave motion to propel bacteria, clean out your lungs and even move eggs from the ...
