Human and mouse respiratory tracts show anatomical and physiological differences, which will benefit from alternative experimental models for studying many respiratory diseases. Pig has been ...

A team of UK-based scientists has recently developed a within-host model to determine the dynamics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in the upper respiratory ...

Lower respiratory tract infections are diagnostically challenging, particularly since clinical symptoms often overlap with noninfectious causes of acute respiratory failure. A diagnostic model ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human lung-on-chip model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...
