Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Mucociliary Clearance, and Bronchiectasis [PDF]

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental and ubiquitous, but only a few species are associated with disease, often presented as nodular/bronchiectatic or cavitary pulmonary forms.

Human airway tuft cells influence the mucociliary clearance through cholinergic signalling [PDF]

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2023
Background Airway tuft cells, formerly called brush cells have long been described only morphologically in human airways. More recent RNAseq studies described a chemosensory cell population, which includes tuft cells, by a distinct gene transcription ...

Impact of smoking on nasal mucociliary clearance time in Kano metropolis, Nigeria [PDF]

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2023
Background Mucociliary clearance is an important defense mechanism in human upper and lower respiratory airways. Impairment of this process by certain conditions such as cigarette smoking can predispose to chronic infection and neoplasm of the nose and ...

Pulmonary radioaerosol mucociliary clearance assessment: searching for genotype-specific differences and potential as an outcome measure in primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]

open access: yesERJ Open Research, 2023
Background Pulmonary radioaerosol mucociliary clearance (PRMC) is a reliable method for assessing in vivo whole lung mucociliary clearance and has been used at the Danish PCD Centre as a supplementary diagnostic test for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD ...

Live imaging of airway epithelium reveals that mucociliary clearance modulates SARS-CoV-2 spread [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications
SARS-CoV-2 initiates infection in the conducting airways, where mucociliary clearance inhibits pathogen penetration. However, it is unclear how mucociliary clearance impacts SARS-CoV-2 spread after infection is established. To investigate viral spread at
