Researchers have identified how a common bacterium is able to manipulate the human immune system during respiratory infections and cause persistent illness. Researchers from The University of ...

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.

A multidisciplinary team has uncovered a key mechanism that allows the human bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae—responsible for ...

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, new research has modeled what happens when people ...
