Disruption of normal mucociliary clearance in the airways is undesirable due to the
associated risk of increased respiratory disease. Accordingly, pharmaceutical formulations …

Mucus is secreted within the respiratory tract down to the terminal bronchioles by the
combined activity of the epithelial goblet cells and submucosal mucous glands. These latter …

The nasal mucociliary clearance system transports the mucus layer that covers the nasal
epithelium towards the nasopharynx by ciliary beating. Its function is to protect the …

Mucociliary clearance is an important physiological defense mechanism of the respiratory
tract to protect the body against noxious inhaled materials. This process is responsible for …

Nasal mucociliary clearance is one of the most important factors affecting nasal delivery of
drugs and vaccines. This is also the most important physiological defense mechanism inside …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis Mucociliary transport is an important defense mechanism of
the respiratory tract. Nonetheless, the factors determining mucociliary transport are only …

Mucociliary clearance provides an important protective function in the nose. A variety of
topically and systemically administered drugs are used to treat nasal pathologies and there …

We summarize the findings of 18 clinical studies carried out over a decade to ascertain the
effect of 14 pharmacological agents on lung mucociliary clearance. These studies were …

The mucociliary clearance apparatus, an important defense mechanism for clearing the lung
of bacteria and foreign particulate matter, is a well-coordinated system consisting of airway …

Mucociliary clearance (MCC), the process in which airway mucus together with substances
trapped within are moved out of the lungs, is an important defence mechanism of the human …
