EFFECTS OF AGING ON THE BIOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THE LUNG EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX: DEPENDENCE ON TISSULAR STRETCH

Effects of aging on the biomechanical properties of the lung extracellular matrix: dependence on tissular stretch

Introduction: Aging induces functional and structural changes in the lung, characterized by a decline in elasticity and diminished pulmonary remodeling and regenerative capacity.Emerging evidence suggests that most biomechanical alterations in the lung result from changes in the composition of the lung extracellular matrix (ECM), potentially modula

Parasite found in parakeets - Study on 167 birds

The Pillbox Hat budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) is a small, long-tailed, seed-eating parrot.Parakeets are the only species in the Australian genus Melopsittacus, and are found wild throughout the drier parts of Australia where this species has survived harsh inland conditions for the last five million years.The researches were conducted in two
