A research team has successfully utilized human respiratory organoids (mini-organs) to propagate human rhinovirus C (HRV-C), which had previously been refractory to conventional virus cultivation.

The lack of a robust system to reproducibly propagate HRV-C, a family of viruses refractory to cultivation in standard cell lines, has substantially hindered our understanding of this common ...

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 ...

Aerosol deposition in the human respiratory tract is fundamental to several critical areas, including the development of aerosol drug therapies, evaluation of health risks from inhaled contaminants, ...

On average, we breath around 20 times per minute, every minute and every hour, day, week, month and year of our lives. It is one of the first things we do immediately after birth and one of the last ...
