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 ...

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.

Two separate teams of researchers have found a way to grow blood vessels within lab-grown organs. The creation of miniature organs in the lab, such as tiny replicas of hearts, livers, and lungs, has ...
