Researchers at the Institute of Biotechnology of the University of Helsinki have for the first time identified an internal electron transfer reaction that initiates the proton pump mechanism of the ...

The mechanism underlying the potentially beneficial effects of the “gentler” modes of ventilation on chronic lung disease (CLD) of the premature infant is not known. We have previously demonstrated ...

Many cells can use oxygen or nutrients to generate fuel, and the process is similar in many organisms that use an electron transport chain. But scientists have found that in a tiny organism, things ...

The mechanism produces airflow that removes pathogens present in the air of a hospital room. Being admitted to the hospital for a specific illness or infection and coming down with another during ...

Researchers from Amsterdam UMC have found a new mechanism explaining diaphragm weakness that arises during mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). The diaphragm is the most important ...

In a recent study published in Nature Microbiology, researchers use a genome-mining technique to investigate respiratory electron acceptor utilization in the human gut microbiota. Study: Dietary- and ...

Insects have been assumed to breathe through a system of tracheal tubes (considered passive air channels), with gaseous exchange being driven by body movements or hemolymph circulation. However, the ...
