The biomimetic lung unit model, comprising a biomimetic membrane, vascular cells, and pulmonary cells, can mimic respiration and cultivate cells at the air-liquid interface. The biomimetic membrane, ...

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 ...

For the first time, a breathing lung model has been made using cells from only one person. Announced on January 1, the development comes from researchers at the Francis Crick Institute in London and ...

In a recent study published in Nature Microbiology, researchers use a genome-mining technique to investigate respiratory electron acceptor utilization in the human gut microbiota. Study: Dietary- and ...
