Take a deep breath: pulmonary research inspires.
The lung is a complex organ with multiple functions; in addition to facilitating gas exchange, it also serves as the first line of defense against inhaled environmental pathogens and toxins. Given these critical roles, disruption of normal cell function or cell-cell interactions can have devastating health consequences. The articles of this Review Series highlight recent progress in understandi...
متن کاملThe ocean takes a deep breath.
Deep convection is the major mechanism for replenishing oxygen in the deep interior of the world ocean, and its variability affects the use of atmospheric oxygen to monitor the global carbon cycle. Sensors mounted on autonomous floats allow this episodic breathing of the ocean to be monitored in near real time. The results suggest that the tools are available now to make oxygen a key parameter ...

Inhalation of insulin is the first alternative route of insulin administration, which has been developed to such a mature status that the first product (Exubera, Pfizer) was made available to the market and subsequently withdrawn as of early 2008. In view of the relatively low bioavailability of inhaled insulin and the intraindividual variability of the metabolic effect induced (which is in the...
متن کاملDevelopment: A Deep Breath for Endocrine Organ Evolution
Developmental biologists have made surprising discoveries on the evolutionary origins of cell types, organs and body plans. Now, an elegant study in Drosophila raises interesting questions about the origin of two major endocrine organs of insects.
متن کاملChallenges of maintaining breath-hold conformity for breast patients while using the deep inspiration breath-hold technique
Deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) is used for whole breast radiotherapy, as a means of providing better dose homogeneity. This can be achieved by lower doses to the organs at risk, less patient movement and better set up. Most patients offered DIBH treatment are left-sided breast cancer, or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) patients, due to the proximity of the heart to the chest wall so it is ...
