Structure and function relationships of mucociliary clearance in human and rat airways [PDF]

Nature Communications
Mucociliary clearance is a vital defense mechanism of the human airways, protecting against harmful particles and infections. When this process fails, it contributes to respiratory diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma ...

Hookah smoking impairs nasal mucociliary clearance

Tobacco Induced Diseases, 2018
Introduction Active tobacco smoking has been causally associated with nasal mucociliary clearance (MCC). Smoking through a hookah as an alternative to tobacco smoking has been shown in some scientific studies to have several toxic effects on human health.

Modelling mucociliary clearance [PDF]

Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2008
Mathematical modelling of the fluid mechanics of mucociliary clearance (MCC) is reviewed and future challenges for researchers are discussed. The morphology of the bronchial and tracheal airway surface liquid (ASL) and ciliated epithelium are briefly introduced. The cilia beat cycle, beat frequency and metachronal coordination are described, along with

The role of bacterial secretion systems in the virulence of Gram-negative airway pathogens associated with cystic fibrosis [PDF]

, 2016
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal inherited disorder in Caucasians. It is caused by mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.

Air Pollution and Nasal Mucociliary Clearance Time among Urban and Rural Residents in Two Philippine Communities

Philippine Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, 2020
Objective: To measure the nasal mucociliary clearance (NMC) time among adults residing in two Philippine communities with different air quality indices using the saccharin and methylene blue test.

Cilia and Mucociliary Clearance [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2016
Mucociliary clearance (MCC) is the primary innate defense mechanism of the lung. The functional components are the protective mucous layer, the airway surface liquid layer, and the cilia on the surface of ciliated cells. The cilia are specialized organelles that beat in metachronal waves to propel pathogens and inhaled particles trapped in the mucous ...

Breathing on chip: Dynamic flow and stretch accelerate mucociliary maturation of airway epithelium in vitro

Materials Today Bio, 2023
Human lung function is intricately linked to blood flow and breathing cycles, but it remains unknown how these dynamic cues shape human airway epithelial biology.

Method for Quantitative Study of Airway Functional Microanatomy Using Micro-Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]

, 2012
We demonstrate the use of a high resolution form of optical coherence tomography, termed micro-OCT (μOCT), for investigating the functional microanatomy of airway epithelia.

ENERGY PROCESSES OF MUCOCILIARY CLEARANCE [PDF]

Journal of IMAB, 2019
The main objective of the paper is to describe in detail the physiology and pathophysiology of the mucociliary transport system. Mucociliary clearance (MCC) is a principal component of the respiratory tract. As an important defence mechanism, it provides

Olfactory evaluation in obstructive sleep apnoea patients [PDF]

, 2018
The sense of smell has a high impact on the quality of life. The aim of the present study was to investigate olfactory dysfunction in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) and correlate the severity of disease with olfactory dysfunction.
