Mucus Structure, Viscoelastic Properties, and Composition in Chronic Respiratory Diseases

Mucus Structure, Viscoelastic Properties, and Composition in Chronic Respiratory Diseases

The respiratory mucus, a viscoelastic gel, effectuates a primary line of the airway defense when operated by the mucociliary clearance. In chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis (CF), the mucus is overproduced and its so...
