What happens in our respiratory tract once we're exposed to COVID-19? A three-dimensional airway model, made from patient-derived stem cells, could provide answers about the initial stages of ...

Due to the emergence of new variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been defined by waves of increased ...

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) computational research scientist Steve Hofmeyr and a team at the University of New Mexico and Arizona State University have succeeded in modeling ...

Respiratory droplets from a cough or sneeze travel farther and last longer in humid, cold climates than in hot, dry ones, according to a study on droplet physics. Respiratory droplets from a cough or ...

Table 1 Comparison of respiratory parameters and breathing pattern for each respiratory rate (n = 38; data are presented as mean ± SD [confidence interval 95%]).

A 3-dimensional model of human respiratory tissue has been shown to be an effective platform for measuring the impact of chemicals, like those found in cigarette smoke, or other aerosols on the lung.
