We recently identified discrete islands of stratified KRT13-positive (KRT13 +) epithelial cells distributed within the classic pseudostratified airway epithelium 1. We named these structures hillocks ...

Upper airway collapsibility after anaesthesia induction may be associated with unpredictable difficult airway. However, most works on airway anatomy are tended to morphological description before ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have uncovered how mutations in a specific gene can trigger a rare respiratory disease, shedding light on the critical role ...

Sex differences in airway size are not innate, but likely develop because of hormonal changes around puberty, reports a new study by the University of Waterloo. Smaller airways can lead to the ...

Placement of a double-lumen endotracheal tube is an airway-management technique that permits isolation and selective ventilation of a single lung. Double-lumen tubes are bifurcated into a bronchial ...

Using patient-derived cells and advanced imaging, researchers showed that RPGR mutations disrupt cilia coordination and ...

Lungs are remarkable organs that continuously achieve amazing feats, which they do so well that we take them for granted, except when their function is diminished. It all happens in a space inside ...

Snoring is often dismissed as a harmless quirk – or the punchline of bedtime jokes – but it can signal deeper issues that go beyond mere acoustic annoyance. Snoring occurs when turbulent airflow ...
