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.

Smaller airway structures among women were associated with increased risk for chronic lung diseases including COPD, according to secondary analyses of the COPDGene cohort published in Radiology ...

Nurses need to understand the anatomy and physiology of normal breathing to measure respiratory rate and interpret findings. The second in our five-part series on respiratory rate describes the ...

Respiratory structures relax and narrow during sleep, and as a result, they are more likely to block the passage of air through the nose and mouth and result in snoring.

UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an ...

Back-to-back papers in the Dec. 29 issue of Nature Plants report the first complete protein structures for plant respiratory supercomplex I+III2. Obtaining these structures helps researchers ...

The respiratory tract spans from the nostrils to the lung alveoli and these distinct niches host a diverse microbiota. In this Review, Man, de Steenhuijsen Piters and Bogaert discuss the role of ...

Researchers have revealed the first atomic structures of the respiratory apparatus that plants use to generate energy, according to a study published today in eLife. The 3D structures of these ...
