Abstract: It is critical to understand the airflow structures in the respiratory system toward increasing the drug delivery efficiency via inhalation. A whole-lung airway model is created by connecting a three-dimensional cast-based mouth–throat model and a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0277938
Abstract: Currently early diagnosis of malignant lesions at the periphery of lung parenchyma requires guidance of the biopsy needle catheter from the bronchoscope into the smaller peripheral airways via harmful X-ray radiation. Previously, we developed an… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1017540
Abstract: Introduction Human pulmonary infection with non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) such as Mycobacterium abscessus (Mabs) occurs in seemingly immunocompetent patients with underlying structural lung disease such as bronchiectasis in which normal ciliary function is perturbed. In addition… read more here.
