The influenza D virus that researchers say has been flying under the radar since its detection in animals in 2011 can vigorously make copies of itself in human cells and lung tissue samples, a new ...

A research team led by Dr Zhou Jie and Professor Yuen Kwok-yung from State Key Laboratory for Emerging Infectious Diseases and the Department of Microbiology, School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty ...

A virus that most physicians have never heard of can replicate inside human lungs. That is the central finding from recent ...

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, a new study has modeled what happens when people ...

Nicolás Catalán, coauthor of the research, with the three-dimensional model of the human upper respiratory tract. The mask in the background hides the 3D model to simulate any impact of the facial ...

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 ...

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, ...
