A new study shows how one of the cell's most important energy-producing machines is built. Researchers at Karolinska ...

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 ...

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 ...

To track the course of inhaled microplastics and their even smaller counterparts, nanoplastics, the study authors constructed a detailed computer model of the human respiratory system from the nose to ...

Breathing through your backside may sound like science fiction, but a Japanese clinical trial recently suggested that one day it might help human beings with lungs that can’t get enough oxygen. The ...
