A mechanism of airway injury in an epithelial model of mucociliary clearance

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We studied the action of sodium metabisulphite on mucociliary transport in a frog palate epithelial injury model, hypothesizing that it may be useful for the study of mechanisms of airway injury. Sodium metabisulphite (MB) releases SO<sub>2 </sub>on c...
