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 ...

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 ...

The chip can simulate breathing and lung disease for an individual, holding promise for testing personalized treatments for tuberculosis.

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 ...

A study suggests that a computer-generated breathing coach could be as effective as sessions with a human trainer. A study by Aston University researchers suggests that a computer-generated breathing ...

A newly discovered cell was found hiding in the passageways of the human lungs, according to Live Science. And this cell may be crucial to the functionality of the respiratory system. According to a ...

Breathing through your backside may sound like science fiction, but a Japanese clinical trial recently suggested that one day it might help human beings with lungs that can’t get enough oxygen. The ...

Author Tim Altenhof has 'given us an excellent history lesson that carves out a small place for breathing,' writes Russell Fortmeyer.
