Physicists suggest how evolution has shaped our lungs through successive optimizations of physical parameters such as conservation of energy and speed of delivery. Our respiratory system consists of a ...
In 1985, we hypothesized that a living vital organ could be rationally designed and built for human therapy from cells and degradable polymer scaffolding. This was based on only two pieces of previous ...
Respiratory diseases are a challenging problem to treat. Inhalable medicines are a promising solution that depends on the ability to deliver tiny particles known as aerosols to the correct location in ...
Scientists have revealed that protracted inflammation following COVID-19 is strongly linked to long-term changes in lung structure and function. Scientists have revealed that protracted inflammation ...
Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the laboratories of researchers at the University of Chicago who are working to improve our ...
Take a deep breath in. Slowly let it out. You have just participated in one of the most profound evolutionary revolutions on Earth--breathing air on land. It's unclear how the first vertebrates ...
