Cilia and Mucociliary Clearance [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2017 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.

Mathematical Modeling of Mucociliary Clearance: A Mini-Review
Cells, 2019 Mucociliary clearance is an important innate host defense of the mammalian respiratory system, as it traps foreign substances, including pollutants, pathogens, and allergens, and transports them out of the airway.

Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Mucociliary Clearance, and Bronchiectasis [PDF]
MicroorganismsNontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental and ubiquitous, but only a few species are associated with disease, often presented as nodular/bronchiectatic or cavitary pulmonary forms.

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.

A human ciliopathy reveals essential functions for NEK10 in airway mucociliary clearance [PDF]
Nature Medicine, 2020 Mucociliary clearance, the physiological process by which mammalian conducting airways expel pathogens and unwanted surface materials from the respiratory tract, depends on the coordinated function of multiple specialized cell types, including basal stem

Adaptations to Ozone in Reference to Mucociliary Clearance [PDF]
Archives of Environmental Health: An International Journal, 1979 Adaptation to ozone in respiratory tract mucociliary clearance was investigated in this study. Eighty rats inhaled insoluble radioactively labeled particles in order to permit monitoring of clearance. The respiratory tract and the feces were counted for radioactivity at fixed intervals to determine clearance rates. A brief challenge to 1.2 ppm of ozone
