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

RGS21, a regulator of taste and mucociliary clearance? [PDF]

, 2014
Motile cilia of airway epithelial cells help to expel harmful inhaled material. Activation of bitterant-responsive G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is believed to potentiate cilia beat frequency and mucociliary clearance.

Assessment of mucociliary clearance as an indicator of nasal function in patients with COVID-19: a cross-sectional study

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2020
We assessed the effects of COVID-19 infection on nasal mucociliary activity. The study was conducted in the pandemic wards of Adiyaman University Training and Research Hospital during April and May 2020.

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.

Inhalable Mucociliary-On-Chip System Revealing Pulmonary Clearance Dynamics in Nanodrug Delivery

ACS Nano
The development of a inhaled nanodrug delivery assessment platform is crucial for advancing treatments for chronic lung diseases. Traditional in vitro models and commercial aerosol systems fail to accurately simulate the complex human respiratory ...

Influenza A virus enhances ciliary activity and mucociliary clearance via TLR3 in airway epithelium

Respiratory Research, 2020
Background Viral respiratory tract infections, such as influenza A virus (IAV), are common and life-threatening illnesses worldwide. The mechanisms by which viruses are removed from the respiratory tract are indispensable for airway host defense ...

In vivo Evaluation of Mucociliary Clearance in Mice [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2020
Respiratory motile cilia, specialized organelles of the cell, line the apical surface of epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract. By beating in a metachronal, synchronal fashion, these multiple, motile, actin-based organelles generate a cephalad fluid flow clearing the respiratory tract of inhaled pollutants and pathogens.
