Many cells can use oxygen or nutrients to generate fuel, and the process is similar in many organisms that use an electron transport chain. But scientists have found that in a tiny organism, things ...

The mechanism of inhibitor-tolerant respiration in Rhodotorula glutinis was studied. This inhibitor-tolerant respiratory pathway was not due to the presence of an excess of cytochrome c oxidase, nor ...

Researchers at the Institute of Biotechnology of the University of Helsinki have for the first time identified an internal electron transfer reaction that initiates the proton pump mechanism of the ...

Researchers have identified a critical part of the process by which one of the world's most common and dangerous early childhood infections, respiratory syncytial virus, causes disease. Researchers ...

THE respiration of the minced breast muscle of the pigeon has been studied by means of specific poisons (malonic, maleic and arsenious acid). Experiments show that in the main process of respiration, ...

ALTHOUGH aminophylline has been known for many years to abolish Cheyne-Stokes respiration and restore a normal breathing pattern, the mechanism of this phenomenon is poorly understood. This agent acts ...

Iodide absorption by fresh, summer Laminaria digitata frond was accompanied by about a fivefold increase in the rate of oxygen consumption. Between approximately 3 and 6 molecules of O 2 were consumed ...

Applied Biological Laboratories (Applied Bio), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the respiratory disease market, announced that its study published online in Immunology, Inflammation and Disease ...

Insects have been assumed to breathe through a system of tracheal tubes (considered passive air channels), with gaseous exchange being driven by body movements or hemolymph circulation. However, the ...

The long-term goals of this project are to investigate the organization of spinal respiratory circuits, evaluate conditions for activation of breathing by stimulation of limb muscle afferents in ...
