In a recent Nature publication by Schappe,M (2024), researchers have revealed a fascinating aspect of respiratory physiology: the role of sensory neurons in guarding against airway obstruction and orchestrating crucial reflexes to maintain respiratory function. The study explores the intricate neural pathways involved in detecting and responding to airway closure. By characterizing a ...
The field of medical science has long utilized disease models, which are systems simulating the progression and expression of a disease, to better understand various illnesses. These models facilitate the study of disease pathology, identifying underlying mechanisms, and developing potential treatments. In the context of respiratory diseases, numerous models have ...
SARS-CoV-2 is a newly discovered human coronavirus group (HCoV), which are single-stranded RNA viruses belonging to the family of Coronaviridae. A range of respiratory diseases have been induced by some of these pathogens in the past. SARS-CoV-1 infected more than 8,000 individuals around the world, for example. Human coronavirus linked to Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) also occurred ...

Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) can cause acute and highly contagious infectious diseases in cats, namely feline infectious rhinotracheitis. In 1958, FHV-1 was isolated and identified for the first time from kittens suffering from respiratory diseases in the United States by Crandell et al. Clinical manifestations include keratoconjunctivitis, upper respiratory tract infection and miscarriage, ...
16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing has now been a well-established method. Due to its low cost, shorter cycle and low quality requirement of the sample, 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing is widely used in the study of microorganisms. 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing reveals the species of microorganisms in environmental samples and their differences, relative abundance, population structure and ...

It can spread rapidly between children and their families to have a significant impact on quality of life and disruption of usual activities: resulting in missed school days and for caregivers, missed work and illness themselves. So, here are a few tips for those with young ones headed back to school this fall to help prevent the respiratory ...
Introduction The global outbreak of Covid-19 has affected every part of human lives, including impacting the physical world in which we live. This is primarily due to the measures that have been taken around the world to control the spread of the virus and the consequent slowdown of economic activities, which have had significant effects on the environment. The European Environment Agency (EEA) ...
Causes of periodontal disease are poor oral hygiene, smoking, some medications, some illnesses and genetic susceptibility. Recent Study Concludes that Periodontitis was Associated with Tongue Cancer In a recent study, the gum disease periodontitis was associated with an increased risk of developing tongue cancer. ...
Dental Problems Linked To Heart Disease and Diabetes Over the last ten years there has been a growing body of evidence linking periodontal disease and systemic diseases. Every day new research is making the link stronger. Periodontal infection is the advanced stages of gum disease that causes bone loss. The bone loss is irreversible. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and with early ...

Results published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases show that subjects with vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies were protected against infection and illness following challenge with an antigenically distinct virus. This is believed to be the first demonstration of vaccine-induced protection against a highly drifted H3N2 influenza virus in a human challenge study. ...
Researchers from Nanyang Technological University and its Center for 3D printing (SC3DP) have developed a 3D printed a highly repeatable and scalable three-dimensional in-vitro alveolar lung model using our REGENHU bioprinter, that could be exploited for pathogen translocation studies and respiratory-related toxicological testing applications. The triple-cell layered lung model was realized ...
