Researchers have identified how a common bacterium is able to manipulate the human immune system during respiratory infections and cause persistent illness. Researchers from The University of ...

A research team has successfully utilized human respiratory organoids (mini-organs) to propagate human rhinovirus C (HRV-C), which had previously been refractory to conventional virus cultivation.

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 ...

With recent studies having established the presence of nano and microplastic particles in the respiratory systems of both human and bird populations, new research has modeled what happens when people ...

In a recent study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, researchers review the sources of airborne microplastics (AMPs), as well as their presence and dispersal in the atmosphere, ...

When Laura Sadofsky, PhD, a senior lecturer in Respiratory Medicine at the University of Hull, Hull, England, began looking at the effects of microplastic exposure on respiratory health 6 years ago, ...

A new multidisciplinary study conducted by researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center has found that the co-development of three systems, the gut microbiome, respiratory system and ...
