The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the human body. This system also helps remove metabolic waste products and keep pH levels in check.

In the human lung, alveoli appear at the 15th generation and remain present for generations up to 23. The researchers found a change in flow pattern between the 19th-20th and the 21st-22nd ...

The developing human lung has been mapped in unprecedented ... to create the Developmental Lung Cell Atlas, showing how the respiratory system comes into being. The atlas, published in Cell ...

Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The human Lung Alveolus Chip is a 2-channel microfluidic culture system in which primary human lung alveolar epithelial cells are cultured in ...

In the paper, "Immune characterization of a xenogeneic human lung cross-circulation support system," published in Science Advances, the researchers detail how they kept lungs viable for 24 hours.

The human respiratory system contains the organs that allow us to get the oxygen we need and to remove the waste carbon dioxide we do not need. It contains these parts: two lungs tubes leading ...

Because that previous work was concerned with making organoids as models of the human respiratory system, it didn’t include any investigation of the behavior of the cell structures. In general ...
