The goblet cells secrete mucin proteins in a matrix composed of water, complex sugars, salts which form the mucus. This matrix is distributed evenly on the surface of the epithelium by the ...

Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes.

We have the capability to develop and implement protocols to measure cilia beat frequency and toxicity on small airway epithelial cells model, retinal toxicity and disease modelling on retinal ...

The trachea has a number of adaptations: cartilage rings in the walls of the trachea help to keep it open ciliated epithelium and goblet cells to clean ... the lungs. Cilia are small hairs which ...

cylindrical-shaped extensions found on the surface of many cells, is altered. There is a high degree of ciliary ...

During this process, nasal cilia beat in a coordinated fashion to transport foreign entities captured in mucus away from the nose. A further barrier to nasal delivery is the existence of tight ...
