The volume and composition of airway surface liquid (ASL) is regulated by liquid secretion
and absorption across airway epithelia, controlling the pH, solute concentration, and …

The airway surface liquid (ASL) is the thin fluid layer lining the airways whose depth may be
reduced in cystic fibrosis. Prior measurements of ASL depth have been made in airway …

Mucus clearance is an important component of the lung's innate defense against disease,
and the ability of the airways to clear mucus is strongly dependent on the volume of liquid on …

The airway surface liquid (ASL) is a thin-liquid layer that lines the luminal side of airway
epithelia. ASL contains many molecules that are involved in primary innate defense in the …

Airway epithelia are thought to play an important role in maintaining the depth (volume) and
composition of airway surface liquid (ASL). However, due to the difficulty in measuring …

The composition and depth of the airway surface liquid (ASL) are key parameters in airway
physiology that are thought to be important in the pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis and other …

Airway surface liquid (ASL) has been reported to vary in height from 5 to 100 µm (1, 2),
which likely reflects both regional/species variation and differences in methodologies …

Airway surface liquid (ASL) homeostasis, achieved by balancing transepithelial fluid
absorption and secretion, is essential for mucociliary clearance and to prevent inundation …

Mucus clearance on airway surfaces is a primary form of pulmonary defense. The efficiency
of mucus clearance in large part depends on the volume of the airway surface liquid …

During airway inflammation, airway surface liquid volume (ASLV) expansion may result from
the movement of plasma proteins and excess liquid into the airway lumen due to …
