The use of synthetic models replicating parts of the human body (often called “organoids”), has emerged in recent years as a promising way to study disease processes and test potential treatments in ...

Preclinical models that recapitulate aspects of human airway disease are essential for the advancement of novel therapeutics and vaccines. In the current study published in the journal mBIO, ...

A human nose organoid (HNO) has been developed to study how the first events of a viral infection take place and the complex interactions between the host and virus. The versatile model is a ...

Researchers at the University of Tübingen have discovered a novel antibiotic substance from the human nose that can be used against pathogenic bacteria. Named epifadin, the molecule is produced from ...

Tiny plastic shards and fibers were found in the nose tissue of human cadavers, according to a small new study. The threads and microplastic pieces were discovered in the olfactory bulb, the part of ...

Researchers report the development of a versatile human nose organoid -- a laboratory representation of the cells layering the inside of the nose where the first events of a natural viral infection ...
