Normalizing salt content by mixing native human airway mucus samples normalizes sample rheology

Across the globe, millions of people are affected by muco-obstructive pulmonary diseases like cystic fibrosis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In MOPDs, the airway mucus becomes hyperconcentrated, increasing viscoelasticity and impairing mucus clearance. Research focused on treatm...
