Examines the role of genetics in normal and abnormal ciliary function!
Discussing scientific fundamentals, current diagnostic techniques, and clinically tested treatments, Cilia and Mucus

  • analyzes the regulation of ciliary waves at the cellular level
  • considers irregularities of upper and lower airways and cilia in systems of the body
  • explores potential modulators of airway mucin secretion
  • proposes a novel therapy for airway hypersecretion due to the epidermal growth factor cascade
  • clarifies gamma camera imaging to measure mucociliary clearance
  • describes the effect of purinergic receptors and dry powder mannitol on airway passages
  • and more!
    With contributions from over 100 international researchers and clinicians, and containing over 1300 references, drawings, photographs, tables, and equations, Cilia and Mucus is a unique single-source reference for pulmonologists, physiologists, immunologists, allergists, otolaryngologists, pediatricians, microbiologists, basic scientists, and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.
