In a recent Nature publication by Schappe,M (2024), researchers have revealed a fascinating aspect of respiratory physiology: the role of sensory neurons in guarding against airway obstruction and orchestrating crucial reflexes to maintain respiratory function. The study explores the intricate neural pathways involved in detecting and responding to airway closure. By characterizing a ...
Upon optogenetic activation, ongoing movements come to an instantaneous halt, accompanied by apnea (temporary cessation of breathing) and bradycardia (reduced heart rate). ...
The study of respiratory function and control of breathing is vital for understanding various physiological and pathological conditions. In preclinical research, gaining accurate and reliable data is essential to make meaningful discoveries and develop potential therapies. Combining implantable telemetry with whole body plethysmography offers a powerful approach that provides researchers with an ...
During the test, the patient is hooked up for monitoring heart, lung, and brain activity, breathing patterns, and blood oxygen levels. Tests typically take place in a lab setting, where the patient is monitored overnight while sleeping. ...
Viability of bacterial cells was evaluated using membrane integrity propidium iodide (PI) dye, respiratory activity indicator of 5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride (CTC) and membrane potential probe of DiBAC4(3). ...
The first is a small (pilot) study investigating the (respiratory) health of 19 children aged 12?13 years. An improved lung function with increased physical activity was shown. ...
