α-Helical Peptides on Plasma-Treated Polymers Promote Ciliation of Airway Epithelial Cells [PDF]
, 2021 Airway respiratory epithelium forms a physical barrier through intercellular tight junctions, which prevents debris from passing through to the internal environment while ciliated epithelial cells expel particulate-trapping mucus up the airway. Polymeric

The case for hypervirulence through gene deletion in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
, 2008 Deletion of genes in a pathogen is commonly associated with a reduction in its ability to cause disease. However, some rare cases have been described in the literature whereby deletion of a gene results in an increase in virulence.
