Increasing concentration of inhaled saline with or without amiloride: Effect on mucociliary clearance in normal subjects [PDF]
, 2003 Mucociliary clearance is determined by ciliary activity and rheology of airway surface liquid. To test the hypothesis that mucociliary clearance would increase after inhalation of an osmotically active agent that would increase the volume of airway ...

Mucociliary Transport Device Construction and Application to Study Mucociliary Clearance. [PDF]
Methods Mol Biol, 2023 Well-differentiated air-liquid interface cultures of airway epithelial cells produce and secrete mucus and have abundant cilia that beat in the apical fluid. In cultures, this ciliary beating is not well coordinated or occurs in small focal areas so the resulting mucociliary transport (MCT) is only linear over short distances. We present a method which

Sputum and mucociliary clearance mechanisms [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1976 Summary Bronchial secretion forms a periciliary liquid layer and may also give rise to thicker secretion that moves on the tips of the cilia. This latter material as collected at bronchoscopy or coughed up as sputum is a viscoelastic substance behaving in a characteristic way over a wide range of shear rates.
