The orchestration of breathing depends on an intricate network of brainstem circuits, glial elements and peripheral inputs to produce rhythmic ventilation and adaptive responses to metabolic demands.

The generation and modulation of respiratory rhythm depend on a central network of neurones in the brainstem that function as a central pattern generator (CPG). Within the medulla oblongata, the ...

In a recent study published in Nature Microbiology, researchers use a genome-mining technique to investigate respiratory electron acceptor utilization in the human gut microbiota. Study: Dietary- and ...

While commonly associated with the unpleasant odor of hot springs, hydrogen sulfide is naturally produced in the body. Despite its toxicity at higher concentrations, the lower concentrations generated ...
