Water permeability in human airway epithelium
Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2005Osmotic water permeability (P(f)) was studied in spheroid-shaped human airway epithelia explants derived from nasal polyps by the use of a new improved tissue collection and isolation procedure. The fluid-filled spheroids were lined with a single cell layer with the ciliated apical cell membrane facing the outside.

Ciliated cells and goblet cells are the cells most exposed to external noxae, and thus more subject to damage. In chronic bronchitic disease and in other pulmonary diseases in which there is abnormal mucus production, the goblet cells appear swollen and increased in number, while cilia are often nonuniformly glued to each other by mucus.

Endothelin and the Airway Epithelium
1999The airway epithelium plays an important role in host defense as a barrier against physical, pathological and chemical stimuli. The epithelium is also an active metabolic and biosynthetic site for production and release of mediators, such as arachidonic acid metabolites, cytokines and a putative epithelium-derived refaxing factor, associated with the ...

[Regeneration of airway epithelium].
Revue des maladies respiratoires, 2014Epithelial regeneration is a complex process. It can lead to the remodeling of the airway epithelium as in asthma, COPD or cystic fibrosis.The development of in vivo and in vitro models has allowed the analysis of remodeling mechanisms and showed the role of components of extracellular matrix, proteases, cytokines and growth factors.

Innate Immune Functions of the Airway Epithelium
2008The epithelium of the respiratory tract forms a large surface area that maintains intimate contact with the environment. Through the act of breathing, this mucosal surface encounters an array of pathogens and toxic particulates. In response to these challenges many strategies have evolved to protect the host.
