Insects exhibit breathing patterns called discontinuous gas-exchange cycles that include periods of little to no release of carbon dioxide to the environment. Researchers who studied the respiratory ...

During development, tubular networks form through the joining of lumenized branches. Further insights into tracheal tube fusion in Drosophila melanogaster now reveal the molecular steps that promote ...

Micro-Tech Endoscopy has introduced the first self-expanding tracheobronchial nitinol y-stent. The Y-Shaped Tracheal Stent System is designed to be a flexible, compliant device to aid in the treatment ...

Tracheal collapse in your dog is a serious disease of their trachea, windpipe, and lower airways. It worsens over time and can’t be reversed. It can be fatal if not treated. But with early diagnosis ...

A team of researchers has gained new insights into the respiratory system of fruit flies -- the so-called tracheal system -- which could be important for future research into aneurysms. Scientists ...

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (October 11, 2006) – The delicate lady bug in your garden could be frighteningly large if only there was a greater concentration of oxygen in the air, a new study concludes. The ...

A hamster trachea organ culture system was utilized to evaluate quantitatively the effects of a strain of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) and culture supernatants of the same strain on ...

A new study reports that a specific species of dragonfly may have an unusual tracheal system in their wings. This could us a fascinating insight into how insect wings evolved. The study was published ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have cast new light on why the giant insects that lived millions of years ago disappeared. In the late Paleozoic Era, with ...

Dragonflies with hawk-sized wing spans and millipedes longer than a human leg lived more than 250 million years ago. Scientists have long wondered why sci-fi bugs don't exist today. The reason has to ...
