In cities where the air often looks hazy even before sunrise, breathing itself can feel like work. From Delhi to Dubai, ...
A conserved signaling axis linking Drosophila adipose tissue to nephrocyte function reveals how obesity can drive kidney dysfunction and points to new opportunities for therapeutic intervention.
China: A novel ultrasound-based indicator, the diaphragm contraction pressure index (DCPI), may significantly improve the ...
Diaphragmatic breathing, also known as belly or deep breathing, is a technique done by contracting the diaphragm muscle to fill the lungs fully.
The phrenic nerve controls the diaphragm, the dome-shaped muscle that is primarily responsible for breathing. Contraction of the diaphragm expands the lungs and draws air into them. The phrenic nerve ...
ABSTRACT: With the continuous advancement of neonatal intensive care technology, mechanical ventilation has become an important means of neonatal respiratory support therapy. Prolonged mechanical ...
A group led by the Department of Cell Biology at the Kidney Research Center, Niigata University revealed that elevated activity of cdc42 is a critical initiation event leading to proteinuria, and ...
(Upper panel) Normal podocytes: Ephrin-B1 at slit diaphragm interacts with nephrin via the extracellular site and with Par6 via the cytoplasmic site. (Lower panel) Podocytes stimulated by anti-nephrin ...
The basic function of a pressure sensor is straightforward. It gauges the force applied by a substance across each square inch of surface area and translates this physical measurement into an ...
