To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, ...

A study published in Nature Communications reveals that the P116 protein of Mycoplasma pneumoniae extracts cholesterol and ...

The primary purpose of this paper is to give a detailed formulation of a Port Hamiltonian-based human respiratory system coupled with a mechanical ventilator. The lumped Port Hamiltonian human ...

Using human stem cells, scientists have created a miniature lung that mimics breathing and TB infection, opening new ...

A new study reveals that the impact humans are having on the Amazon rainforest is so profound it is even changing the evolutionary history and functionality of the forests. As the world gathers at ...

Human Resources (HR) is an organizational function that deals with the management of people within an organization. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including hiring, training, performance ...

A trio of scientists — two of them American and one Japanese — have won the Nobel Prize in medicine for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance, a mechanism by which the body helps ...

Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive model of the human respiratory system using electrical circuit analogies to explore its acoustic and mechanical characteristics. The model segments the ...

A genetically modified pig lung remained viable and functional over a period of 9 days after being transplanted into a human recipient who had been declared brain dead, according to research published ...

A new mRNA-based vaccine triggers a response from the innate immune system to help arm the body against cancer, a mouse study finds. It's now in early human trials. When you purchase through links on ...

H5N1 avian influenza has long been a concerning virus. Since its discovery in 1996 in waterfowl, bird flu has occasionally caused isolated human cases that have quite often been fatal. But last year ...

Scientists at UC Davis discovered a small genetic difference that could explain why humans are more prone to certain cancers than our primate cousins. The change affects a protein used by immune cells ...
