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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

VirTus Respiratory Research Ltd, a leading respiratory-focused contract research organisation (CRO), today announced that results from their human rhinovirus challenge model in patients with chronic ...

The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the human body. This system also helps remove metabolic waste products and keep pH levels in check. The major ...
