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

Smoking is associated with shortened airway cilia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Whereas cilia damage and reduced cilia beat frequency have been implicated as causative of reduced mucociliary clearance in smokers, theoretically mucociliary clearance could also be affected by cilia length.
