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

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 ...

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

Exposure to a common fungal molecule can reprogram immune cells in the lungs, causing them to overreact to infection-like ...

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

Cilia are outgrowths of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells that contain a specialised cytoskeleton. Motile cilia are present on multiciliated cells and use this cytoskeleton to move fluid ...
