Human mini-lungs grown by University of Manchester scientists can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials. The study at the University’s NanoCell Biology Lab at the Centre ...

Most people can only hold their breath for a minute or two, but some land animals have incredible lung capacity. Whether for hunting, hiding, or survival, these creatures can stay underwater far ...

Different types of airflow patterns in animal lungs. Mammals (top left) have a tidal airflow pattern where air moves to-and-fro through a branching network of bronchi. Birds (top right ...

T cells produce the cytokine molecules that promote inflammation in animals' lungs and airways, and they perpetuate asthma symptoms by signaling for other cells in the lung to release more and ...

No animal mortality was observed, and body weight gains were not affected by hyperoxia. At postnatal d 7 and 14 (P7, P14), lungs of mice exposed to 85% O 2 showed fewer alveolar secondary crests ...

SEOUL--South Korea’s Daewoong Pharmaceutical said its anti-parasitic drug niclosamide had eliminated the novel coronavirus from animals’ lungs during testing. Drugmakers worldwide are rushing ...

The protective effects seem to be mediated by an increase of so-called gamma-delta T cells in the animals’ lungs that induce the epithelial cells in the airway to make more mucus to trap the virus.
