Different types of airflow patterns in animal lungs. Mammals (top left) have a tidal airflow pattern where air moves to-and-fro through a branching network of bronchi. Birds (top right ...

Human mini-lungs grown by University of Manchester scientists can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials. The study at the University’s NanoCell Biology Lab at the Centre ...

When transporting an mRNA encoding a luminescent protein, this nanoparticle produced the highest luminescence within the animals' lungs and uniform protein expression in the tissues, thereby ...

Animals need air, water, shelter and food to survive. Our lungs bring in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. But other animals breathe in all sorts of different ways. Fish use gills to get their ...
