A team of UK-based scientists has recently developed a within-host model to determine the dynamics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in the upper respiratory ...

Researchers have assessed virus growth and activation of the cellular defense mechanisms in the respiratory tract. They have shown that natural temperature differences that exist in the upper and ...

A coughing, sneezing, 3D-printed model of the human nose and upper airway has provided researchers with a better understanding of how airborne infections are transmitted. The knowledge will aid in ...

The researchers have now used this existing model for the first time to study the effects of respiratory temperatures on SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 replication. They found that temperature plays an ...
